J.J. Barea hit the showers early Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Mavericks point guard was ejected after picking up a Flagrant 2 for throwing Blake Griffin to the ground during a third-quarter scuffle.
Barea's edgy play appeared to be a hit with the American Airlines Center crowd, as they gave the 6-foot guard a standing ovation as he walked off the court.
Barea finished with five points and three assists in 12 minutes.
