It all got a bit heated for Tristan Thompson on the court last night. The Cleveland Cavaliers player was ejected from the court during a highly-charged NBA play-off game, which kicked off this year’s finals.
The Cavs are meeting Golden State Warriors for the fourth straight season in the NBA’s prize match series, which will continue through this month in a best-of-seven series to determine this season’s champions.

The pressure of the opening game of the Finals clearly got too much for Tristan, who reacted to some barbs from Golden State player Draymond Green with a shove to the face.
Tristan managed to get himself ejected from the game, too – even though there were just 2.6 seconds left on the clock. Naturally, Twitter went in on the altercation – with many fans either joking or hypothesising (delete as applicable) that Tristan reacted to an insult from Green about his frosty relationship with Khloe Kardashian.
Holy shit. Draymond Green went up to Tristan Thompson and said Khloe kardashian smells like a jimmy johns sandwich, Tristan throws the ball in draymonds face and calls him a “small baller” and massive brawl ensues. Didn’t see that coming— Big Heatdaddy (@DanyAllstar15) June 1, 2018

Tristan Thompson: “Hold my Kardashian”
Tristan Thompson just frustrated he has to go home to Khloe in 3 more games.— Young Sinatra (@elmickeey) June 1, 2018
Whatever was said, it was enough to properly wind up Tristan – and, after he apparently challenged Green to meet him after the game to carry on their ‘discussion’, it should definitely make for an interesting Game 2 when the two teams meet again on Sunday night.
