J.R. Smith ejected for bowling his way through Harrison Barnes screen

Smith has a history of aggressively running through screens against the Warriors.

J.R. Smith was ejected after being assessed a flagrant 2 foul for running through a Harrison Barnes screen early in the third quarter of the Cavaliers-Warriors game on Tuesday.

The flagrant 2 call may seem a bit much, but not when you consider Smith has a history of running recklessly through screens against the Warriors. He plowed through Draymond Green in last year’s NBA Finals.

Smith probably won’t mind sitting the rest of this one out. The Cavaliers trailed by 26 at the half and it only got uglier when he left.
