The incident occurred late in the fourth quarter when Mathurin made a layup and the Cavaliers quickly took off the other way. Mathurin sprinted back in transition and was called for a foul on Evan Mobley. It appeared to be an obvious foul, but Mathurin thought otherwise. He immediately put his arms out in the air and started to complain to Sago.

Bennedict Mathurin was ejected after yelling at and bumping into an official while arguing a foul call on Tuesday night.

Maturity has been a focus for Mathurin in his third year with the Pacers. It's a quality his teammates have praised him for. That maturity appeared in some moments in Tuesday's 127-117 loss, like a swift block that spurred a Ben Sheppard 3-pointer in the third and being quick to defend out of transition.
