Boozer's celebration gets out of, um, hand

Carlos Boozer got more than an "and-1" shot on Saturday.

He also inadvertently took a shot at referee Danny Crawford.
 
With 3:01 remaining in the second quarter against the Dallas Mavericks, the Chicago Bulls power forward got a little too excited after giving his team a chance at a three-point play when he pumped his fist into Crawford's midsection while the veteran referee was making a foul call.
 
In video replays, it appears Crawford might have taken a hard hit to the groin, but he smiled and laughed while walking to the scorer's table.
 
No technical foul was called on Boozer, but Crawford might remember to stand clear of the Chicago big man next time.

The Mavericks won the game 100-98.
