Golden State Warriors star Chris Paul hilariously mocked the referee Matt Myers with a technical foul after receiving a technical against the Dallas Mavericks. In the clash that took place on Wednesday night at the American Airlines Center, the Warriors faced a 109-99 loss to the Mavericks. During the fourth quarter of the game, the Warriors’ guard argued for a foul after getting hit while chasing a loose ball on offense.
The referee evaluated and slapped a technical to Paul, while Mavericks’ Washington signalled for a foul to be given to CP3. Paul seemed to be fed up with it and reacted by hilariously mocking the referee by signalling for a technical foul. Paul finished the game with nine points on 4-of-12 shooting from the field, combining it with four assists and four rebounds in 31 minutes.
