Lue, 46, seemingly asked the refs to take another look at Draymond Green's foul on Clippers center Mason Plumlee, earning him his first tech.

Harden had to hold the Clippers head coach back so he wouldn't be assessed a double technical, leading to an ejection.

Lue got tossed out of the game a few possessions later anyway.

A frustrated Plumlee bizarrely thumped Brandin Podziemski, trying to get the ball from him after he missed a layup and the Warriors rookie secured a rebound.
