Kenny Atkinson picked up two straight technical fouls and got ejected in Game No. 79 for arguing with the three-man officiating crew — Curtis Blair, Gediminas Petraitis and Matt Myers — over a non-call against veteran Tristan Thompson. Atkinson had a message to send. “I don’t regret that one. I had to have Tristan’s back on that blatant foul against him that led to my ejection,” Atkinson said to cleveland.com after the 114-112 loss. “Fourteen years in the league. An NBA champion. He deserves more respect than that. I couldn’t let that one go. No way.”
