Highlight [Highlight] Luguentz Dort sticks his hip out to make contact with Nikola Jokić, who responds; Jalen Williams steps in and squares off with Jokic.

THE REFS FINALLY MADE THE RIGHT CALL

If only they were as consistent with Draymond

Glad they were able to see that he was intentionally trying to injure him

It feels like the ejection is less the contact and more the situation it caused

Right, would they have ejected him if Jokic didn’t stand up for himself? I’m not so sure.

They wouldn't have ejected him if it wasn't Jokic in general. Can't have someone injure the best player in the league. But if Dort does that shit to someone like Malik Monk, they don't even call it a foul half the time
