( 4UMF NEWS ) Rondo Claims He Tripped Into Ref:
Rondo scored 20 points and dished out 11 assists, but none of it mattered when he lost his cool. The Celtics not only lost this game, they may have lost their floor leader for the next one.
He clearly stuck out his chest and struck the official, which will almost surely draw the wrath of NBA Commissioner David Stern.
“I deserved the first tech,” Rondo said. “I didn’t intentionally chest-bump him, but that’s what it appears to be. It’s out of my control.”
