Ref abuses power, player gets ejected and suspended too (Livingston deserved a tech but the confrontation escalation beyond that was 100% the ref)

Only difference is that players usually follow the incidental contact of a headbutt by throwing themselves down on the grass and rolling around grabbing their temple as if they just got hit by Mike Tyson. _________________ Lakers. Built different.

The replays show Livingston take 2-3 paces away from the advancing ref before the headbutt. Tough luck for Livingston. _________________ -Avenue of the Champions- -RIP Dr Buss- #824

I'm trying to figure out what's worse, the ref having the mindset to headbutt an NBA player or that after doing so, uses his authority to toss Livingston. _________________ We back.
