Midway through the second quarter as the Celtics were mounting their first comeback against the visiting Kings, Corey Brewer rushed the ball down in transition and Marcus Smart fouled him before he could get an easy look at the rim. It wasn’t anything egregious, but a small scuffle broke out with Marcus Morris holding court against a trio of Kings. D’Aaron Fox, Marvin Bagley III, and Buddy Hield, and later Harry Giles.
It wasn’t a heated display like when Mook got right in the face of Tristan Thompson in last year’s Eastern Conference Finals.
