KEVIN GARNETT LOST the head and paid the price.
The veteran forward was ejected early on in the Brooklyn Nets’ 113-99 defeat against the Houston Rockets on Monday night.
Tempers flared between Garnett and Dwight Howard in the first quarter, and as push quite literally turned to shove, Garnett leaned in and headbutted his opponent.
When order was restored, KG was ejected. He can expect to hear from the league office shortly.
