Pacers' Bennett Ejected for Hitting Cavaliers' Hunter

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin was ejected from Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday after hitting De'Andre Hunter in the chest with a closed fist in the first quarter.

Hunter responded by wagging his finger at Mathurin and then following him toward midcourt, shoving Mathurin to the ground with two hands. Pacers center Myles Turner ran across the court and knocked down Hunter.

Following a replay review, the referees called Mathurin for a flagrant 2, an automatic ejection, drawing a chorus of boos from Pacers fans. Technical fouls were given to Turner and Hunter.
