Larry Sanders Accidentally Elbows a Referee in the Face (VIDEO)

As we’ve seen of late, being an NBA ref is a contact sport. Bill Kennedy got popped in the grill by an errant elbow from Larry Sanders on the opening tip. (Kennedy collected himself and stayed in the game. Sanders went on to have a career scoring night—24 points, along with 13 rebounds—as he led the Milwaukee Bucks to a 131-102 rout of the Charlotte Bobcats).
