Tuesday night's tilt between the Boston Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs was a battle between two teams with a chance to see each other again in June. It lived up to that hype. Unfortunately, it had to overcome the loss of one of the matchup's marquee figures, Jaylen Brown.
The five-time All-Star got ejected with 3:38 left in the first half. It started with him having the ball in his hands and getting pushed out of bounds by Spurs guard Stephon Castle. Only the referees chose not to call a foul. The former fourth-overall pick undeniably put his hand on Brown's lower back right before the latter lost his balance and stumbled out of bounds.
