"I don't think it was a foul, but when these little guys flop they're just inclined to call it." The post Jaylen Brown says Darius Garland flopped on foul call that ‘changed the game’ against Cavs appeared first on Boston.

▪ Jayson Tatum has faced just about every defensive coverage imaginable, and most often teams try to wobble him with blitzes, traps and double teams that force another player to beat them. But Tatum is a willing and excellent passer, and this approach sometimes leads to quick advantages for the Celtics closer to the rim.

Jayson Tatum (46 points, 16 rebounds, nine assists, three blocks) and Jaylen Brown (37 points, five rebounds, two assists) both were tremendous Friday night at a raucous TD Garden. But Boston got little from the duo’s supporting cast and blew a 22-point lead in a 123-116 loss to the streaking Cavs.
