The Boston Celtics fell two possessions short in one of their biggest games of the season thus far: a 100-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. Notable in the defeat was a free-throw discrepancy in which the Spurs made 10 more foul shots (14) than the Celtics even attempted (four). Celtics star Jaylen Brown took exception to the distribution of whistles in the loss and after the game unleashed a minute-and-a-half-long diatribe against the officials.
The NBA responded Monday with a $35,000 fine for public criticism of the officiating. The league cited Brown’s postgame remarks to reporters as well as a social media post in which he said he is “sick of this s—.”
Brown, who scored 27 points but did not go to the charity stripe once, called out official Curtis Blair by name and lamented the “inconsistency” in the amount of contact allowed on the two ends of the floor.
“I’ll accept the fine at this point,” Brown said. “I thought it was some bulls—- tonight. I think thay’re a good defensive team, but they ain’t that damn good. I hope somebody could just pull up the clips, because it’s the same s— every time we play a good team. It’s like, they refuse to make a call, and they call touch-fouls on the other end. That’s just extremely frustrating, bro.”
The foul totals were not dramatically out of balance,as Boston was whistled 18 times to San Antonio’s 13. But the majority of the Celtics’ infractions sent the Spurs to the line, and their 20 free-throw attempts were a factor in the game’s outcome. Brown himself was guilty of four fouls, which tied a game-high.
