O.J. Mayo Ejected For Punching Greg Stiemsma In Throat
Maybe it was an elbow that Bucks guard O.J. Mayo threw at Pelicans big man Greg Stiemsma, after the two players got tangled up in a screen and Mayo took what appeared to be an unintentional shot to the head from Stiemsma.

Giannis Antetokounmpo once had to hitch a ride with fans to arena
Sometimes the hardest part about a game is just finding a way to get there on time.
