Watch – Jayson Tatum is hit by a technical in Game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals
Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics were looking to get off to a quick start in Game 5 against the Miami Heat. Boston was determined to pick up the pace and attack the rim early on.
The Celtics’ strategy, which they continued from Game 4, paid early dividends, including this:
•
Jayson Tatum, after a quick screen from Al Horford, had an open way to the basket. He didn’t hesitate and turned on the jets to let Kyle Lowry slam.
The Boston All-Star forward clung to the rim and stared at referee Marc Davis, wondering why there was no foul. Tatum didn’t respond to Davis and made a move that Davis didn’t like.
The action earned him a technical, which rained boos on Marc Davis. Some sections of the arena could be heard chanting:
“Ref you s**k”
