The Detroit Pistons’ Cade Cunningham was ejected late in the fourth quarter of their 113-107 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, sparking a heated postgame rant from head coach J.B. Bickerstaff.
According to Crew Chief Brian Forte, Cunningham was ejected after receiving two technical fouls for using profanity towards an official. The first tech was issued for “disrespectfully addressing an official,” and after the resulting free throw, Cunningham continued, leading to his automatic ejection.
Bickerstaff didn’t hold back, calling the officiating “disgusting” and accusing the refs of showing blatant disrespect toward the Pistons. He pointed to questionable reviews and a lack of fairness in calls, demanding that his young team receive the same respect as other teams.
