Postgame – Houston Rockets at New York Knicks, January 23, 2019

NBA Crew Chief Pat Fraher met with pool reporter Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press after the game between the Rockets and the Knicks tonight. Here is a transcript of that interview.

Q: Why was David Fizadale ejected from the game?

A: Coach Fizdale was warned in the first half at 3:28 for continuous complaining and was later given a technical foul. We do not warn multiple times so now in the second half he continues to complain on a non-call on the other end of the floor which is now unsportsmanlike conduct and is given his second technical foul at 1:08 of the second half.
