The Boston Celtics secured a resounding victory over the Charlotte Hornets, but the game was marked by an incident between former teammates Jayson Tatum and Grant Williams, prompting a reaction from Jaylen Brown.

Williams committed a flagrant foul on Tatum, leading to his ejection from the game. Although Williams claimed the foul was unintentional, reactions from Celtics players and coaches suggest otherwise.

“Actions speak loud… It is what it is. We got the win, and we move on, but there’s no place in the game for that. I thought JT and Grant were friends. I guess not.” Brown said.
