Hornets' Grant Williams ejected after near-criminal foul on Jayson Tatum

The matchup between the Charlotte Hornets and the Boston Celtics got very testy during the fourth quarter on Friday night. With the Hornets trailing in a close game, forward Grant Williams ran straight through Jayson Tatum in an attempt to stop a Celtics fast break.

After a review, Williams was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and was subsequently ejected. The call ended up being inconsequential, as the Celtics quickly put the game out of reach to walk out of Charlotte with a 124-109 win.

Shortly after Williams was tossed, forward Miles Bridges was also ejected for spiking a dead ball shot attempt into the stands. Bridges likely won’t face any extra discipline from the league for his ejection, but the foul by Williams may warrant something more from Adam Silver.
