However, it may have been the way Rajon Rondo stared down Terry Rozier on the ground that really made the referees decide to eject him.
While it does look like Rondo was going for the ball, it seemed like he was taunting Terry Rozier after hitting him in the head. Some people think that Rondo thought he might get away with hitting Rozier by making it look like a basketball play, which is why he stared him down after.
