Giannis received the first technical penalty in the first half for protesting. What cost him the ejection, however, was a celebration that came in the second half of the Bucks' home game against the Pistons when he took a hard jab at Isaiah Stewart's face and then stared down his opponent.
The referees with an excessive decision - especially for the NBA - charged him with a second technical penalty and the "Greek Freak" was ejected (for the 4th time in his career) from the match.
The referees had lost control of the game early, both the Bucks and the Pistons needed clarification on their decisions.
