T-Wolves' Hollins ejected for 2 technicals

Nov 14, 2009 - 2:46 AM MINNEAPOLIS(AP) -- Minnesota Timberwolves forward Ryan Hollins was ejected Friday night against Dallas after picking up his second technical foul in the third quarter.

Hollins was assessed a technical foul after teammate Jonny Flynn and Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki got into a confrontation earlier in the period.

Hollins later went to the hoop and was fouled hard by Dallas forward Drew Gooden. He swung his elbow wildly at Gooden, but did not make contact. Gooden received a flagrant foul and Hollins was given his second technical, prompting the automatic ejection.

Hollins played 27 games for the Mavericks last year and was signed as a free agent by Minnesota this offseason. He had five points and six rebounds in the game.
