Robin Lopez smacks Chris Paul in the face and gets ejected

Not nice.

Snowmageddon might be approaching, but things are getting heated at The Garden Friday night. Shortly after failing to convert a tip-in attempt, Robin Lopez found himself smacking Chris Paul in the face not just once, but twice. To no one's surprise, a scuffle ensued. Lopez was ejected and the group of Paul, DeAndre Jordan, and Paul Pierce all received technical fouls.

As you can see from this frame, Paul took a pretty good shot:

Ouch. That can’t tickle. Lopez is a big dude with huge hands.

Lopez should probably just stick to beating up mascots, not players or anyone else.
