It was the first ejection of his career as a coach and just the third of his NBA career.
Late in the third quarter, Nash appeared to be upset at a no-call on Giannis Antetokounmpo, who used his left arm to create separation against Patty Mills, which sent the Australian to the floor.
Nash picked up a technical foul after confronting the official after no foul was called and shortly after he was tossed from the game, picking up a second technical after continuing to let the officials know about it.

At the time of his ejection, the Nets led 70-66, but the Bucks seized control of the game from there, outscoring the Nets 35-21 in the third quarter to take a two-point lead into the final frame.
Nash usually keeps a cool demeanor on the sidelines, as he did during his playing days. In 1,337 career games across 18 seasons, Nash had only been ejected twice.
