In his own postgame interview, Rockets head coach Ime Udoka was unimpressed and said he was surprised by the ejections. Udoka's remarks: It wasn’t much. Steven could do a lot more if he was really trying to wrestle. It looked like they got a little bear hug and fell down. And thought that’d be maybe a technical at best, but surprised to be ejected.

Mason Plumlee and Steven Adams packed it in early on Wednesday night. The two were issued technicals and were ejected from the Rockets-Suns game in the second quarter after a fiery moment that saw both benches clear. It all started with the Rockets, which won 111-104, in possession, and Jalen Green taking a 15-footer.
