Call it a case of rookie-on-rookie crime.
Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart was ejected after elbowing Orlando Magic point guard Elfrid Payton in the face on Sunday.
The play came with just 28 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Smart's frustrations boiled over with the Celtics trailing by 10 at that point, much to the credit of Payton, who finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.
The Magic went on to capture the 103-98 point victory.
