Okongwu caught a long pass from Jalen Johnson and as he went up for a shot Bane grabbed his arm and pulled him down toward the court. With his free hand, Bane then hit the ball down onto the falling Okongwu.
Bane was called for a Flagrant 1 foul and also given a technical foul, which led to an ejection.
The Hawks led 79-65 at the time.
