I didn't try to find the chair kicking incident, and am not sure even what it was a response to. Was KP frustrated about something on the court related to himself or someone else (people are saying he was frustrated with Luka)? Was he frustrated he wasn't in the game when he had been playing well? I'm sure we'll get an answer at some point, but who knows if it will be the truth.
I could see him being frustrated about not being taken out of the game, or not being put back in, but I don't think that's going to have any lingering effects; it's just a competitive guy that was playing well wanting to be on the court, but then he'll realize it was a blowout and understand.
If he's frustrated with Luka, then that merits more watching. If there is something for him to be frustrated with, there has been a pattern this season of Luka driving and KP's man collapsing from the 3-point line to help leaving KP wide open at the top of the arc, but Luka not finding him. There was definitely one of those in the game and a bit later on is when the chair-kicking talk started.
