Pacers Head Coach Rick Carlisle Ejected In Cavs-Pacers Game

Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle ejected after Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Donovan Mitchell doesn't get called for a travel.

Tensions began to rise in the third quarter of the Cavs' contest with the Pacers. It had been a back-and-forth game the entire night with each team making their respective runs at times.

Cleveland was on one of their own runs when the play under question occurred:

Donovan Mitchell was at the top of the key when he lost his dribble. He launched it off of the backboard and grabbed the ball himself, went back up for a shot, got his own rebound again, then dished it to Isaac Okoro who finished the play with a massive dunk.

The entire Pacers bench was calling for a travel to be called on Donovan Mitchell, however, there wasn't one given. That's when Indiana's head coach demonstrated his displeasure with the no-call and was called for a technical foul and ejected.

Pacers assistant coach, Lloyd Pierce, took over the head coaching duties after Carlisle left the game.

Travel or no travel, credit has to be given to Okoro for that finish. It was a smart cut from the guard who was rewarded with a great play at the end!
