Paul Pierce was whistled for a flagrant-2 foul and ejected for this apparent clothesline on George Hill in the third quarter of Brooklyn's loss to the Pacers on Monday night. Pierce left the arena without speaking to reporters, but at least one of Hill's Indiana teammates didn't think Pierce acted with malice:
Paul Pierce ejected for clothesline on George Hill
You can’t do this, Paul Pierce.

Re: Pierce's ejection David West said the clothesline probably looked a lot worst than it was. G. Hill said Pierce caught his face, not neck
