The physicality ramped up a notch on Sunday as the Celtics lost Game 2 of the NBA Finals to the Warriors.
The most notable occasion came in the closing moments of the first half. Celtics star Jaylen Brown attempted a 3-pointer that would’ve put his team up 51-50 with 55 seconds left had he made it. But he was fouled by Warriors star forward Draymond Green.
As both players fell to the floor, Green’s legs appeared to hit Brown in the mid-section and near his face. Brown tossed Green’s legs aside and Green pushed Brown in the back.
