In his own postgame interview, Rockets head coach Ime Udoka was unimpressed and said he was surprised by the ejections. Udoka's remarks: It wasn’t much. Steven could do a lot more if he was really trying to wrestle. It looked like they got a little bear hug and fell down. And thought that’d be maybe a technical at best, but surprised to be ejected.

Suns center Mason Plumlee and Rockets center Steven Adams were ejected from Wednesday’s game in the second quarter following a confrontation that ended with both players falling to the floor as players and coaches attempted to pull them apart, as Tim MacMahon of ESPN details.
