The Pool Report interview was conducted by Rod Boone (Charlotte Observer) with Crew Chief Bill Kennedy following tonight’s Nuggets at Hornets game.
QUESTION: What was the reason for Montrezl Harrell’s first technical foul tonight?
KENNEDY: Harrell was assessed his first technical foul for stepping over his opponent [Austin] Rivers in an unsportsmanlike manner resulting in a taunting technical foul.
QUESTION: Why was Harrell assessed a second technical foul and ejected?
KENNEDY: Harrell and [Aaron] Gordon were assessed double technical fouls for physically taunting each other, resulting in an ejection of Harrell.
QUESTION: So, Aaron’s technical foul was because he was physically taunting Harrell?
KENNEDY: Yes.
