Former Celtic Grant Williams' hard foul on Jayson Tatum during Friday's game didn't sit well with his former teammates.

caught up with Derrick White after the Celtics got the win over the Hornets, and he gave his reaction to Grant Williams' cheap shot on Tatumbut the final result was overshadowed by a chippy fourth quarter. Former Celtic Grant Williams was ejected with a Flagrant 2 after body-checking his ex-teammate Jayson Tatum. The Celtics star immediately got up and went to the free throw line, but Jaylen Brown was visibly upset with Williams' antics.
"I just like how JT handled it," he added."It was great. To get hit like that, pop right back up, it’s big time.” The Hornets continued to melt down from there. Shortly after Williams' ejection, LaMelo Ball fouled out after being hit with a Flagrant 1, and"I don't know what that was about. I think that spoke for itself," Brown said."That wasn't a basketball play. Grant knows better than that. ... There's no place in the game for that. I thought JT and Grant were friends. I guess not.""It was for sure intentional," he said.
