Isaiah Thomas ejected for elbowing Justise Winslow in face

Isaiah Thomas was ejected late in Sunday night's game for elbowing Miami Heat small forward Justise Winslow square in the face.

The Boston Celtics point guard was assessed a flagrant-2 foul for unnecessary and excessive contact to the sophomore swingman's noggin. It was reduced two days later to a flagrant 1.

Winslow, who was bleeding under his right eye as a result of the hit, missed the two corresponding free throws.

Thomas finished with a team-high 23 points to go along with four assists in 28 minutes as Boston emerged with the 105-95 victory.
