Can you believe the drama that went down during the Boston Celtics’ Game 4 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers? Jayson Tatum of the Celtics, accidentally hit his own teammate, Jaylen Brown, during the game.
After the game, Tatum was quick to address the incident in his post-game interview. He expressed his concern for Brown and emphasized that it was just a little accident.
During the Boston Celtics’ Game 4 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tatum assisted on a late Jaylen Brown three to put the Celtics up 105-97 with 1:09 left to play.
As the Cavs called a timeout, cameras caught Tatum smacking Brown in the chest in celebratory fashion as he walked to the bench. In a hilarious moment, Brown winced in pain and appeared to yell something at Tatum.
After the game, Tatum was asked about the unnecessary roughness and had a great reaction.
“I didn’t realize how hard I hit him. You know, I’ve been lifting a lot lately. But I was just so— high-intensity game, I drove, they helped, he hit a big shot. I was hype.”
Brown, meanwhile, vowed to get revenge.
“I’m gonna get Jayson back for that,” Brown told reporters. “He just came out of nowhere with a left hook.”
In the end, it’s great to see that both Tatum and Brown were able to move past the incident and focus on getting the job done. The Celtics are on a roll in the playoffs, and with players like Tatum and Brown leading the way, there’s no telling how far they can go.
