VIDEO: Knicks' Bobby Portis Gets Ejected After Hard Foul on Lakers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
By Karl Rasmussen
Bobby Portis is known for having a bit of a temper, and he let it get the best of him on Tuesday night during the Knicks' clash with the Los Angeles Lakers. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was driving to the basket on a fast break, when Portis went up to contest the shot. Rather than make a defensive effort, however, Portis damn near clothes-lined KCP, sending the Lakers' guard crashing to the ground. For his actions, Portis was ejected from the contest.
KCP was clearly shaken up after the play, laying on the ground while being attended to by team trainers.
Meanwhile, LeBron James and Rajon Rondo could be seen getting in the face of Portis, before the Knicks' forward was ushered off of the court.
