After an ending on Friday night that had multiple members of the Warriors incensed at the officials, Sunday’s first half featured another questionable ruling.
DeMarcus Cousins was issued a Flagrant 2 foul, and therefore ejected, after an errant elbow caught the face of the Hornets’ Willy Hernangomez during a boxout.
The officials ruled that Cousins contact was both “unnecessary and excessive,” the league’s requirement for the issuing of a Flagrant 2.

The ejection is Cousins’ second of the season. His first came back in October when he was tossed for arguing while wearing street clothes on the Golden State bench. Cousins was having a dominant stretch in the second quarter before being thrown out. The big man left the game with eight points and three blocks in 11 minutes.
