SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Los Angeles center Shaquille O'Neal was ejected from the Lakers' game at Utah on Monday night with his second technical foul in the fourth quarter.

O'Neal grabbed a loose ball and slammed it down with a one-handed dunk, but was called for a technical right away for coming down with an elbow on Utah's Andrei Kirilenko with 3:57 remaining. O'Neal was furious and was restrained by teammates as he stood shouting at referee Bob Delaney, who shook his head and walked toward the scorers' table to announce the technical.

His first technical came barely a minute before when he was called for taunting after a dunk with 5:11 left in the fourth. O'Neal shoved away teammate Gary Payton as he tried to hold him back after the call.

O'Neal finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
