“BREAKING: Hawks coach goes ABSOLUTELY NUTS on live TV, gets booted from game!”

During the second quarter of Friday’s matchup against the Toronto Raptors, Atlanta Hawks’ head coach Quin Snyder was thrown out of the game. The incident occurred with approximately four and a half minutes left in the quarter, as Snyder became visibly upset with an official’s decision not to call an illegal screen after Trae Young, the team’s point guard, was knocked down, seemingly injuring his leg.

Snyder erupted in anger at the missed call, resulting in him receiving two technical fouls promptly and being ejected from the game. The frustration stemmed from Snyder’s belief that the incident occurred right in front of both him and the referee, leading to a heated exchange.

Despite the commotion, Young managed to continue playing after briefly staying on the ground following the collision. He concluded the game with 11 points and seven assists.

Tensions between the Hawks and the referees escalated throughout the game, as evidenced by the unusually high number of technical fouls called against Atlanta in the first half.

The ejection of Atlanta Hawks’ head coach Quin Snyder marked a dramatic moment in a game filled with contentious exchanges between the team and the officiating crew.

In addition to Snyder’s double-technical, both Young and Hunter found themselves on the receiving end of first-half technical fouls.

Meanwhile, Immanuel Quickley showcased his prowess with an impressive six 3-pointers and a total of 24 points, contributing significantly to the Raptors’ consecutive victories post-All-Star break.

Scottie Barnes also made his mark with a noteworthy performance, tallying 20 points and 10 assists for Toronto, while Jacob Poeltl chipped in with 12 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists.

On the other side, Dejounte Murray led the charge for Atlanta, notching 24 points, with De’Andre Hunter adding 22 points to the scoreboard.

In a tense moment with the Hawks trailing 121-118 and only 18 seconds remaining, Murray’s misstep out of bounds on a crucial play from Bogdan Bogdanovic dashed Atlanta’s hopes, allowing the Raptors to secure the victory with Bruce Brown’s breakaway dunk just 11 seconds before the final buzzer.
