Jazz center Rudy Gobert went off on officials earlier last Sunday after a late foul call allowed Dwyane Wade to hit game-winning free throws against Utah with seconds left, and the league responded by fining Gobert $15,000.

Gobert took the floor on Thursday at home against the Rockets – and the big man was thrown out of the game within three minutes. Gobert was called for a foul on the opening tip of the game, and was later whistled for an offensive foul with 9:13 remaining in the first quarter (on what some fans are calling a James Harden flop). While walking to the bench, Gobert swatted a few drinks off the scorer’s table, which led to his ejection.

Gobert said after the game that he had a “stupid reaction” and blamed himself for the incident. In a statement to For The Win, the NBA confirmed that “the calls in question were correct.”

ESPN’s Richard Jefferson, however, believes that Gobert was treated unfairly by the officials in Utah.

“That’s just disrespectful. I’m not a big fan of this. This was literally targeting by the officials. …. Look, the referees, they kind of work together, they take things [personally]. When you get fined, then you understand that ‘hey, look, I might not get a call for a couple of weeks.’ But this right here… I met with [commissioner] Adam Silver and one of the things I talked about with him was officiating. Officiating is better this year than it was last year… but you can’t have that. You can’t have a referee call a foul one second into a game on a jump ball. Show me another time that this has happened to start the game. How many times has this happened to start the game? And it just happens to be on the play [after] a guy got fined for criticizing the officials?”
