LA, February 26: Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins had his best game of the season on Monday, but received a peculiar technical foul against the Charlotte Hornets.
Cousins picked up Hornets guard Jeremy Lamb's shoe and tossed it into the stands in Golden State's 121-110 win over Charlotte.
The referees were quick to respond with a technical.
Cousins is no stranger to technical fouls. Despite only playing 14 games in 2018-19, he has already received six. He was even ejected after getting a technical foul from the bench earlier this season while he has recovering from an Achilles injury.
