It started with this, you can see right at the beginning KP wanting the ball and Luka calling him in the PnR

It was followed by this action - unfortunately no video in the play by play, but you can see it in the game. KP was wide open, Luka went by himself and got the foul

It finished by this, after which TO has been called and KP allegedly kicked the chair (no video that I know off available).

I don't read much into it. KP was obviously extremely motivated which led to strong feelings. It obviously didn't affect the game, as second half was much better than first one.
