This week’s showdown between the Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets turned violent during one particular exchange.
Late in the fourth quarter, with Boston up comfortably, this occurred between former Celtic Grant Williams and Jayson Tatum:

Understandably, people had some strong takes on that sequence of events. Especially Jaylen Brown.
Afterwards, Brown had a lot to say about the situation.
“I don’t know what that was about,” he said.
“I think that spoke for itself. I don’t know if Grant missed JT or I don’t know what that was. But it wasn’t a basketball play. Grant know better than that.”
Brown then paused.
“Actions speak loud. So it is what it is. We got the win. We move on. But there’s no place in the game for that. I thought JT and Grant was friends. I guess not,” he added.
Brown’s assessment of the situation is obviously harsh, but it is also tough to argue with.
