 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - Kendrick Perkins was ejected in the fourth quarter of Friday's game between Boston and Detroit after being called for a flagrant foul. With 5:56 to play and the Celtics leading 70-65, Perkins pulled Detroit's Jason Maxiell to the floor by the neck while Maxiell was trying to put back an offensive rebound. Maxiell got up and shoved Perkins, and was given a technical foul, while Perkins was called for a flagrant-2 foul, which brings an automatic ejection.The officials used instant replay to review the call, but did not change their original decision.
