Sacramento’s Ron Artest was ejected after getting two technical fouls in the fourth quarter of the Kings’ game at Utah Friday night.

Artest was called for a technical with 8:49 left for getting in Jazz forward Matt Harpring’s face after Harpring tied him up with an elbow lock for the second time in less than a minute.

He came close to his second on a couple of plays that could have been called delay of game and finally got tossed after a harmless swipe at Utah forward Carlos Boozer after a free throw.
