Jayson Tatum on what he said to Grant Williams while sending him into the stands

Tatum sent ex-Celtics forward Grant Williams flying after an attempted buzzer heave in Boston’s win over the Dallas Mavericks.

Not all that long after leaving former teammate Dennis Schroder sprawled on the Toronto Raptors’ home court, a new, ice-cold version of star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum sent ex-Celtics forward Grant Williams flying after an attempted buzzer heave in Boston’s win over the Dallas Mavericks.

Speaking to the media about the incident postgame via CLNS Media, the St. Louis native said, “Yeah, I tried to kick that (expletive). I (am not) going to lie.” As to what he said to Williams after hip-checking him into the stands with gusto, we will just have to guess what transpired between them.

“I can’t repeat what I said, but it was all friendly, competitive nature” explained Tatum. “But I had to get one off.”

The two former teammates were not even on the same plane in the contest, with Tatum going off for 39 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists while Williams logged just 2 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Brown and Tatum go for 73, Celtics tame Mavericks 119-110

Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum combined for 73 points and 0 turnovers in a 119-110 Celtics victory against the Mavericks.

The Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks 119-110 on the road thanks to another impressive outing from Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. The All-NBA duo powered Boston to an emphatic victory, pushing the Celtics to a 34-10 record for the season.

The game marked Boston’s first tilt against Grant Williams since the fan-favorite joined Dallas in free agency this summer. Williams spent his first four seasons as a pro in a Celtics uniform, but tonight he was unable to exact revenge against his old club. With Brown and Tatum at the helm, Boston’s offense proved too much for Dallas to handle, and was more than enough to secure a victory for the guys in green.

Here’s what went down during Boston’s 119-110 win in Dallas Monday night.
