DALLAS (AP) -- Dennis Rodman was ejected in the fourth quarter of Tuesday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks after picking up two quick technical fouls.

Rodman contended that the Bucks should have been called for an illegal defense with 7:13 left in the game. Referee David Jones whistled Rodman for one technical, then Rodman picked up a second one for sitting down on the court in protest.

Rodman refused to leave quickly, repeatedly storming up to Jones and screaming in his face. As Rodman exited the court, he removed his No. 70 game jersey, ran to the baseline and handed it to a female fan with a child in her lap.

Rodman finished with 16 rebounds, six points and four assists in his second start since signing with Dallas. Rodman had the high rebound game for the Mavericks this season.
