According to Yahoo! Sports, Young helped the Hawks rally from a 22-point first-half deficit, which brought the team within three points in the third quarter. However, the Magic regained control in the fourth, after which Young took out his frustration on multiple referees.

Young had two technical fouls and an ejection for unsportsmanlike conduct

The 26-year-old earned two quick technical fouls before being ejected Tuesday night — one for firing a chest pass at referee James Williams on the baseline and the other when he kicked the ball away from another referee, Pat Fraher. According to NBA rules, players who receive two technical fouls are removed automatically from the game.
