The incident occured with 6:40 left in the fourth quarter, with Milwaukee leading 113-110 as Lopez and Trent Jr. were holding each other near the basket.

After a lengthy review by officials, Lopez was whistled for two technical fouls and ejected. Technicals were also called on Toronto's O.G. Anunoby and Toronto assistant coach Jamaal Magloire on the play. No foul shots were awarded.

Bill Kennedy, the crew chief for the three referees, told a pool reporter that Lopez was given one technical for removing Trent's headband and one for pushing Anunoby.

Anunoby received a technical for pushing Lopez and Magloire for pushing Milwaukee's Bobby Portis, Kennedy said.

"I can't expect the refs to get it right," Lopez said of his first career ejection. "If they're not going to get it right during the game, why are they going to get it right when they replay it or any other calls. It's what it is."

Lopez finished the contest with 19 points (4/7 2PT, 3/5 3PT, 2/2 FT), 1 rebound, 1 assist, 2 blocks and 1 turnover as the Bucks ended up winning the game 130-122.

Trent Jr. contributed with 28 points (6/10 2PT, 4/9 3PT, 4/4 FT), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 steals.
