Pacers coach Rick Carlisle ejected against Nuggets, upset with no-call on Pascal Siakam
INDIANAPOLIS -- Pacers coach Rick Carlisle was given two technical fouls for arguing with an official with 8:07 to go in the third quarter of the Pacers' game against the defending NBA champion Nuggets on Tuesday.
Carlisle seemed to be upset about the lack of a foul call against Pacers forward Pascal Siakam on the previous play and could be seen saying "that was a foul" on the broadcast. Carlisle got heated with the official and had to be held back by lead assistant coach Lloyd Pierce but left without further incident.
