Clippers' Griffin ejected for hard foul on Chicago's Gibson

Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin was ejected from Thursday's game against the Bulls following a hard foul against Chicago's Taj Gibson.

Officials reviewed the play and gave him flagrant foul 2, which carries an automatic ejection. Griffin had 18 points.
