Utah Jazz guard Rodney Hood didn't have his best night on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards.

Late in the third quarter with the game tied 74-74, Hood was called for his second technical foul of the game, and was immediately ejected. Hood was clearly not pleased with the call as he left the court, accepting high fives from his teammates as he walked past the end of the bench.

But before he made it to the locker room, Hood noticed a fan appearing to take a video or picture of him and decided to take action, knocking the phone out of his hand and onto the court.
