Grant Williams heaped praise on the Celtics early Friday afternoon, but that same attitude wasn’t reflected in his dirty play at the end of the Celtics-Hornets game Friday night.
With under five minutes to play and a fairly convincing double-digit lead for Boston, Williams seemed to let his frustrations boil over on the court — at the expense of former teammate and Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum.
During a transition play, Williams charged toward Tatum, carrying the ball down the court, and threw a shoulder directly into the forward, sending both players tumbling to the floor.
