A bad Mavericks stretch got worse on Monday when head coach Jason Kidd and star guard Luka Doncic were both ejected in a 116-106 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"I"m here because I have to be here," Kidd told reporters."I already gave up money, so I don't want to give up any more. So no questions. We'll go back and look at the tape and see how we can get better. They were the better team tonight, and we'll go from there.That was it for the Mavs coach, who fulfilled his media obligations in the briefest of manners.
The ejections both took place with 2:00 left in the third quarter and the Timberwolves leading 85-71. Doncic protested a no call when he thought he was fouled on a shot. Whatever he said prompted not one, but two quick whistles from referee Rodney Mott, who's been here before with Doncic. With the Mavs trailing by 14 and his star guard gone, Jason Kidd took the opportunity to give officials an earful. He earned his own ejection with two technicals from referee Nick Buchert
