Hawks' Howard ejected for elbowing Zeller in loss to Hornets

Steve Mitchell / USA TODAY Sports

Dwight Howard was ejected Friday after logging a flagrant-2 foul in the fourth quarter of the Atlanta Hawks' loss to the Charlotte Hornets.

Howard was called for the foul due to this elbow, directly to the chin of Hornets center Cody Zeller. Howard then argued with the refs before being tossed.

Howard had pulled down 18 rebounds in the game before the incident, but momentum swung after his departure with the Hornets putting the game away on a 14-10 run.

This wasn't Howard's first run-in with Zeller, either.
