OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets for arguing a call early in the third quarter.
The play in question occurred with 8:27 left in the quarter, when Durant went up for a jumper and thought he was fouled by Nuggets forward Paul Millsap. He did not get the call and continued complaining to the officials.
At the 8:21 mark, Durant was whistled for his first technical foul. Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr tried to calm Durant down, but official Zach Zarba quickly whistled for a second technical foul as Durant continued arguing.
Durant's two technical fouls are significant, given that he now has 15 on the season. Sixteen technicals bring an automatic one-game suspension. Warriors forward Draymond Green also has 15 technicals.
As Durant was escorted off the floor, fans at Oracle Arena angrily chanted, "Ref, you suck!" Durant left the game in the midst of one of his best performances of the season.

But there’s obviously something we don’t see or understand that’s causing Durant to become moody.
But this was a transformation to a degree. Durant is worshipped at the University of Texas, despite playing only one season there. Folks speak glowingly of his character and especially his generosity by returning and funding athletic programs.
In Seattle, his first NBA stop, Durant was an affable young player who showed maturity beyond his years, a trait that followed him to Oklahoma City after the SuperSonics relocated. When a deadly and destructive tornado caused lives to unravel in central Oklahoma in 2013, Durant pledged his time and money to help the recovery efforts.
And he teared up at his Kia MVP ceremony in 2014, thanking his mother and also saluting teammate Russell Westbrook, a relationship that became fractured and combative after Durant defected to Golden State.
The first time his personality shift took place publicly came during his exit strategy from OKC to the Warriors during free agency. He was caught off guard by the not-so-favorable reaction, heightened by the presence of social media.

Drew McQueen Bledsoe (born February 14, 1972) is a former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 14 seasons, primarily with the New England Patriots. He served as New England's starting quarterback from 1993 to 2001 and was considered the face of the Patriots franchise during his nine seasons with the team.
The first overall pick in the 1993 NFL Draft, Bledsoe helped improve the fortunes of the Patriots, who had fallen on hard times. During his tenure as starting quarterback, the Patriots ended a seven-year postseason drought, qualified for the playoffs four times, clinched the AFC East twice, and made one Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XXXI. He was also named to three Pro Bowls and became the youngest quarterback to play in the NFL's all-star game at the time with his 1995 appearance.
Following a period of declining success and two consecutive seasons where the Patriots missed the playoffs, Bledsoe suffered a near-fatal injury early in the 2001 season that led to backup Tom Brady becoming the team's starter. He was unable to regain his starting position for the remainder of the season due to Brady's success, which led to the Patriots winning their first championship in Super Bowl XXXVI and began a dynasty for the franchise. Bledsoe subsequently played three seasons with the Buffalo Bills, where he made a fourth Pro Bowl appearance, and two with the Dallas Cowboys, before retiring during the 2007 offseason.
While his tenure with the Patriots would ultimately be eclipsed by Brady, Bledsoe is recognized for helping rebuild the franchise and his role during their first Super Bowl-winning season when he relieved an injured Brady to lead the team to victory in the 2001 AFC Championship.

During his tenure as starting quarterback, the Patriots ended a seven-year postseason drought, qualified for the playoffs four times, clinched the AFC East twice, and made one Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XXXI. He was also named to three Pro Bowls and became the youngest quarterback to play in the NFL's all-star game at the time with his 1995 appearance.
Following a period of declining success and two consecutive seasons where the Patriots missed the playoffs, Bledsoe suffered a near-fatal injury early in the 2001 season that led to backup Tom Brady becoming the team's starter. He was unable to regain his starting position for the remainder of the season due to Brady's success, which led to the Patriots winning their first championship in Super Bowl XXXVI and began a dynasty for the franchise. Bledsoe subsequently played three seasons with the Buffalo Bills, where he made a fourth Pro Bowl appearance, and two with the Dallas Cowboys, before retiring during the 2007 offseason.
While his tenure with the Patriots would ultimately be eclipsed by Brady, Bledsoe is recognized for helping rebuild the franchise and his role during their first Super Bowl-winning season when he relieved an injured Brady to lead the team to victory in the 2001 AFC Championship. For his accomplishments in New England, he was inducted to the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2011.

We also reached out to all the other candidates for statewide office and asked them to submit endorsements by the supporter.
Our goal is to provide voters with the arguments each candidate's supporters make for why you should vote for them.
Below is a list of all the endorsements The News Journal has published before Thursday's primary election. To learn more about how to vote, and to get information about candidates in races for local offices and the General Assembly, check out the Delaware Voters Guide.
U.S. Senate, Democratic primary
The News Journal editorial board endorses Tom Carper: "Delawareans want someone who will fight when necessary, but compromise when possible. By and large, Carper has the right balance."
Air Force veteran and youth advocate Gerald Rocha endorses Kerri Harris: "If you’re like me, then you’re looking for an advocate urgently acting to address issues of racial justice, climate change, and economic opportunity. This is a period in history when we need a vision for Delaware focused on ending inequality for all."
U.S. Senate, Republican primary
The News Journal editorial board endorses Gene Truono: "To be competitive in the Nov. 6 general election, Delaware Republicans need a nominee in the mold of former Delaware GOP leaders like Mike Castle and Pete DuPont: moderate on social issues and laser-focused on creating jobs and building the economy. Of the two candidates in this race, we think Gene Truono best fits that mold."
John Radell, president of the Faith and Freedom Coalition Delaware, endorses Rob Arlett: "We need someone with love in their heart, courage in their actions, and faith in our independence of thought and actions; and someone who is transparent in their actions and in our trust.
