The incident happened during the final moments of the first quarter as Green drove to the basket and lost balance, kicking Green in the back of the head with his right leg.

NBA referee Scott Foster explained during the game that there was "excessive foot-head contact," which resulted in Hart's ejection.

The Knicks ended up losing to the Bulls on the road, 100-108. Hart was scoreless and had one rebound and an assist in the 11 minutes he played before his dismissal.

Green, on the other hand, was instrumental in the Bulls' win with 25 points, 13 rebounds, and two steals.
