Houston Rockets swingman Trevor Ariza wasn't willing to let his
night end after being ejected from Tuesday's contentious game
against the Dallas Mavericks.
All told, there were eight technicals and two flagrant fouls in
the Rockets' 123-107 win over the Mavs, in addition to Ariza's
ejection at the end of the third quarter.
Flanked by teammates Patrick Beverley, James Harden and Eric
Gordon, Ariza waited for Dallas center Salah Mejri outside the
Mavs' locker room. Ariza was upset that Mejri said something
about his wife and kids, according to multiple reports.
Mavs guard Deron Williams met with the quartet of Rockets to try
to defuse the situation. Security and Dallas police were on hand
to make sure events didn't escalate.
