During the second quarter, Brown protested to the referees after a no-call that saw him ejected for the remainder of the game, with Spurs winning 125-116.

Brown was forced to say something about the problem of flopping in today's NBA and how it benefits the players:

"I'm not looking to flop or anything like that, but it's almost like you got to," Brown started.

"We commend players for playing the game the right way, but we give benefit to those who necessarily are trying to manipulate the game into their advantage."

"I just don't think it's basketball. Let's just play basketball. All the foul baiting, I think it's whatever for me," he said.

Brown was asked about the ejection, and had a short comment on it:

"I was ready to have a big-time performance and my night was cut short," he concluded.
