NBA playoffs: Pacers’ Bennedict Mathurin ejected after altercation with Cavaliers’ De’Andre


Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin was ejected in the first quarter of their Game 4 matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night after he sparked an altercation with De’Andre Hunter.

Late in the first quarter, with the Pacers up to a dominant 22-10 start to the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Mathurin was seen hitting Hunter in the chest — which caused Hunter to double over briefly in the lane.

Mathurin immediately walked backward up toward the 3-point line, and Hunter followed. While Mathurin appeared to taunt Hunter a bit with his arms outstretched, Hunter shoved Mathurin hard in the chest and knocked him to the court. That sparked a pretty big altercation, and a long review from the officials after things settled.
