During the Boston Celtics‘ 137-134 preseason overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday evening, star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was hit with a pair of technical fouls and was subsequently ejected from the game. Reserve forward Grant Williams was then assessed a technical as well, and the team received yet another technical foul for the St. Louis native not leaving the basketball court fast enough, and the end result was Boston being hit with a total of three consecutive technicals in rapid succession.
In a game that otherwise didn’t matter, Tatum again let his emotions get the best of him. Will he and the Celtics use this as a teaching moment and learn from this experience?
Can it help the team moving forward and serve as a reminder to keep a level head going into the regular season?
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” had to say about Tatum’s ejection against the Raptors in Montreal on Friday.
