Golden State Warriors' coach Steve Kerr was ejected from the Warriors vs Kings game on Monday night (Tuesday morning IST). Kerr ran out of patience with the officials during the game as he told them to 'wake up'. He also verbally abused the officials, which got him ejected. Steve Kerr apparently had a problem with the calls that were made as well as not made when it came to the Warriors. He initially received technical fouls before getting ejected. Ironically, the last time this happened to him was at the Sacramento Kings Arena Golden 1 Center in February 2017. The Warriors lost that game to the Kings as well 106-109.
