QUESTION: What led to Cade Cunningham’s ejection at the :47.5 mark, and why did he receive two technical fouls?

QUESTION: Why did Dennis Schröder receive a technical foul at the :47.5 mark?
FORTE: Schröder was given a technical foul for continuous complaining after Detroit was given a team warning in the second period.
QUESTION: What was the initial call against Isaiah Stewart at the :47.5 mark?
FORTE: There was a whistle for a loose ball foul on Isaiah Stewart for dislodging Jaylin Williams during the rebound.
QUESTION: Is that then what caused Jaylin Williams to have those two free throws?
FORTE: Yes.
