Celtics' Jaylen Brown calls out ref for technical fouls

BOSTON -- Celtics forward Jaylen Brown took issue with back-to-back technical fouls called on coach Joe Mazzulla and himself late in the fourth quarter of Boston's 117-108 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night.

Boston led 86-82 before Chicago opened the final period with a 17-4 run to take a 99-90 advantage.

The Celtics scored six straight points before consecutive techs were called on Mazzulla and Brown with 5:12 left to play after both protested a non-foul call as Brown scrambled for a loose ball. A jump ball was called instead.
