An odd thing happened during the third quarter of the Phoenix Suns-Atlanta Hawks game. Phoenix point guard Eric Bledsoe was ejected after being whistled for two quick technical fouls. That wasn't the strange part -- players routinely get technicals and even tossed for arguing calls. The odd thing was Bledsoe got T'd up for arguing a call that went in his favor.

That’s right, Atlanta’s Pero Antic was whistled for committing a foul against Bledsoe, but Bledsoe was then tossed for arguing the call. Here is how it all unfolded:
It appears Bledsoe was upset that another referee didn’t also whistle for the ball. Bledsoe said something, got a tech, said something else and just like that he was tossed for arguing a call in his favor.
