Wallace collects Nos. 39 and 40
Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. – The Trail Blazers' Rasheed Wallace smashed his NBA season
record for technical fouls Sunday, receiving his 39th and 40th and
getting ejected during the third quarter against the Minnesota
Timberwolves.
Wallace was tossed with 7:29 left in the period for arguing with
the referees. Wallace thought he was fouled when the Blazers
botched a 4-on-1 fast break that resulted in a lob pass being
thrown over Wallace's hand.
Wallace received a technical foul from referee Mike Callahan.
Wallace flung his arm into the air in disgust, and after arguing
with referee Bob Delaney walking down the court, Delaney ejected
him.
It was Wallace's seventh ejection of the season. The Blazers
have nine games left.
His 38 technicals last season broke the record of 32, shared by
Charles Barkley and Dennis Rodman.
