Kelly Olynyk couldn’t see Kelly Oubre Jr. coming at him.
Referee Monty McCutchen was standing in front of him, blocking his view as Oubre rose from the floor and bull-rushed him. Olynyk wasn’t on the lookout, either, because it hadn’t occurred to him that a hard-set pick would be reason enough for Oubre to take a run at him.
“I set a screen,” was all Olynyk could say to explain what had happened.
Welcome to Celtics-Wizards, where a screen is reason enough for a brawl, like the one that broke out after Oubre momentarily lost his mind Wednesday evening.
