With 10:18 remaining in the fourth quarter, Lue received a technical foul after passionately asking one of the officials to take a look at the replay as he thought Mason Plumlee got hit in the face by Draymond Green.

Not a minute later, Lue received his second technical foul and got ejected from the game. Although the coach had to leave the court with his team down 94-103, the Clippers ended up winning the game, 130-125.

As the players were leaving the court for the locker room, Lue greeted them, thanking for holding the ground without him. During the moment, Lue had some tough words for the refereeing crew.

"Where the refs at now? Cheating! That's all they be doing. Where they at now?" he shouted.

After getting high-fives to the players, Lue continued. "Where James [Williams] at, the referee? I wanna kiss him in the mouth," he said in a seemingly joking manner and started walking toward the court, stopping after a brief moment.
