The end of Josh Hart's impressive Summer League stint was downright ugly.
The Los Angeles Lakers guard was given the boot from Tuesday's tournament final against the Portland Trail Blazers late in the fourth quarter with a pair of technical fouls as his team was getting blown out.
Earlier in the day, Hart was named Summer League Most Valuable Player and a member of the All-NBA Summer League first team, yet those accolades weren't enough to keep him on the floor after chirping at official Tyler Ford.
Hart finished with 12 points on 3-of-12 shooting from the field and 0-of-6 from behind the arc against Portland. That came one night after a 37-point, nine-rebound performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the semifinals.
