Miles Bridges ejected from Charlotte Hornets-Atlanta Hawks play-in game, hits fan with mouthpiece while exiting
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges struck a young fan with his mouthpiece after he was ejected from the team's 132-103 play-in loss to the host Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night, later calling his actions as he exited the court "unacceptable."
With Atlanta up big in the second half and Charlotte's season winding down to its end, Bridges was whistled for a goaltending call on De'Andre Hunter midway through the fourth quarter and immediately went after game official James Williams, who called two quick technicals on the fourth-year player.
As Bridges left the court and headed to the Charlotte locker room, a Hawks fan yelled in his direction, leading him to turn around and throw his mouthpiece, which hit another fan who was standing nearby around her shoulder. The girl he hit is 16, she told the Charlotte Observer.
It was among the low points on a night filled with them for Charlotte, which was overwhelmed in the No. 9 vs. No. 10 play-in game for the second year in a row and hasn't made the playoffs since 2016.
Asked about Bridges' actions after the loss, Charlotte coach James Borrego said he wasn't aware of what happened.
"I'm sure we'll gather some more information and I need some time to talk to Miles and I know he was very emotional at the time, so I'll gather some more information," Borrego said.
James Capers, the crew chief for Wednesday's game, said Bridges was given the first technical because he "aggressively approached the official with a clenched fist."
"He was ejected because he used profanity directed at the official and it was his second technical foul, by rule, that is an automatic ejection," Capers said via the pool report.
Bridges is now subject to NBA discipline for his actions.
Whatever the league says, Bridges said he'll accept it.
"I was upset about a call, a couple of calls really,'' he said. "I let my temper get the best of me. It was definitely the wrong thing to do.''

Send they ass home. In the name of Pat Bev
We gonna be good. AD, LJ, Malik monk, hillbilly Kobe (Austin Reeves), Stanley Johnson, THT, DJ Augustin, Avery Bradley, Kendrick Nunn, etc. We got the makings of a good squad. We need a coach (I like mark Jackson). Mgmt need to go if they fuck up again. We need a center.
Yeah the Lakers will be aight. I don’t know about Mark Jackson though?
They definitely need a coach that the players respect, they also need to play a different system instead of letting Lebron dictate everything.
Also you have to mindful of the Laker hate on here. These niggas just mad because their team ain’t won or been shit since “Leave it to Beaver” was premiering on 10 inch black and white tv’s!
Wtf
Well damn.
Ummm sidebar:

Gamer bars
FUCK IT, KEEP ME IN THE LOOP CUZZO.
I'm eyeing this series the most, sixers vs raptors
Raptors might pull it off, too athletic and harden is gonna harden and attempt 35 foot step back 3's all game.
All hell will break lose if they lose to the raptors
I hope that's not the nets season highlight
I'm just saying. What are we in year 3 of this team up?
Yup you saw the stats I posted PG and kawhi ain't been to the second round. And barely played.
That's heart?
I'll take the sage burner playing 40 plus minutes while practicing Ramadan
