It was a travelling call that got him the technical. He was hand-cuffed by Birdman Chris Andersen when he tried to drive for his shot.....and the referee insteads of calling foul on Andersen, called a travelling on Big Yao that made him mad.

You will love this game - it was thrilling and nerve-wrecking. With only 7 seconds left on the clock, when Denver, which was two points behind, called a time-out, even the Rockets TV announcers Bill and Clyde agreed that the Nuggets had a better chance of winning the game.
As usual, lots of bad calls from the officials on Yao. In one particular defensive play, all Yao touched was the ball, and the official called a foul on him. He also got a technical for complaining to the official ( not sure it was on the same play). It is nice to see him stand up to the refs. more and more. Remember him kicking the ad. sign in one previous game?
