In a heated matchup, the Boston Celtics secured a 124-109 victory over the Charlotte Hornets, but the game was marred by a controversial ejection. Former Celtic Grant Williams was ejected after a hard foul on Jayson Tatum, prompting strong reactions from his ex-teammates, particularly Jaylen Brown, who likened the hit to those seen in football. Draymond Green criticized Williams for his lack of awareness during the altercation. Despite the commotion, Tatum led the Celtics with 32 points, helping his team pull away late in the game while tensions escalated, resulting in two ejections for the Hornets. This incident has raised questions about potential disciplinary actions against Williams, while Celtics players express their frustration regarding the situation.
