Westbrook ejected vs. Mavericks after 2nd technical
Russell Westbrook was ejected from Wednesday night's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks after receiving his second technical foul.
The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard got in a tangle-up with the Mavericks' J.J. Barea in the second quarter, with both players receiving techs.
Westbrook received another one minutes later when he retaliated following Barea's apparent clothesline attempt. Barea did not receive a technical on the play.
Two technical fouls for Russell Westbrook and he is EJECTED!

Despite the Thunder's large lead, Westbrook struggled mightily on the offensive end, going scoreless in 13 minutes - just the second time that's happened in his career - which could help explain his frustration.
