John Wall is not happy this year and last night we got to witness his frustration.
Wall picked up his second technical foul with just 33 seconds left. Down 111-106 with less than a minute left in the game, he bumped into official Marc Davis on his way back to the bench.
John Wall was ejected tonight for THIS!?

It may not look like much, but according to the ref his language was the issue:
“For inappropriate language and using vulgarity towards a game official. He already received his first technical foul. After granting the team a timeout, I felt there was contact and he bumped me. I wasn’t certain of his intent. I told him to watch himself. He looked over his shoulder and used vulgarity and inappropriate language and was ejected on his second technical foul.”
Despite the loss and his ejection, John Wall did manage to make a bit of history. He became the Wizards’ all-time leader in assists, passing Wes Unseld’s mark.
There it is! Congrats to @JohnWall, our franchise's new all-time assists leader! #WizRockets #DCFamily pic.twitter.com/hZg8aQ9qZS
