Mike Scott ejected after questionable Flagrant 2 foul call vs. Hawks

It was a short night for Mike Scott in Atlanta.

The Sixers’ forward was ejected with 1:36 left in the first half after committing what the officials deemed a Flagrant 2 foul on the Hawks' Damian Jones.

To say the call was questionable is an understatement. Essentially a Flagrant 1 call is made when unnecessary contact is made. A Flagrant 2 is when the contact is unnecessary and excessive.
