What is it about Cleveland athletes slapping butts and getting in trouble?

Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson received a technical foul Friday night after he gave Memphis' Jae Crowder a "slap to the backside," as crew chief Kenny Mauer said after the game. Thompson and Crowder were hit with double technicals earlier in the game.

Jae Crowder was making shots early, putting him in a rhythm that carried throughout the game. The Grizzlies never scored less than 25 points in each quarter. “We controlled the tempo and got off to a big first quarter and scored 40 points,” said Crowder, who scored 27 points.
