Ime Udoka on Grant Williams getting in Bobby Portis’ face in the second half: “Grant knows who he is and what he has to do to be successful. I’d rather him put someone on their ass or get into it than let someone go right down the lane. I welcome that at all times.” – 11:21 PM

Ime Udoka on Grant Williams’ physicality and dust up with Portis: “We didn’t like some of our lack of physicality (on the road trip). We talked about that and said, ‘I’d rather you guys put somebody on their ass or get into it with somebody than let guys waltz down the lane.’” – 10:17 PM

Refs say common loose ball foul on Portis, no flagrant. Double tech on Portis and Grant – 9:13 PM

Eventually, the ruling is that Holiday’s basket counts, there was a loose ball foul on Bobby Portis and double techs on Portis and Grant Williams. – 9:13 PM

This will end up in a double technical foul, but Portis clearly threw Grant to the ground. That could be a Flagrant 1. – 9:13 PM

Flagrant 1 on Portis for two-handed throwdown there? Wasn’t really a basketball play there. – 9:12 PM

That should be a flagrant 1 on Portis. I don’t know if they’ll give Grant anything for the response. They like to give out technical fouls in these situations – 9:12 PM

Grant went right at Portis when Portis dropped him during the rebounding action.
Celtics have shown plenty of fight tonight. – 9:10 PM

Grant Williams and Bobby Portis have to be separated after an offensive foul is called on the Bucks negating a Jrue Holiday basket. Boston has completely turned this game around since an ugly first quarter. – 9:10 PM

Jaylen Brown told @Abby Chin heading into halftime that he banged knees with Bobby Portis early in the game but that he feels fine. Brown laughed “Hopefully I can get out of here without anything else happening.” – 8:39 PM

Hard to see what happened to Jaylen Brown there and why he was limping off the floor but he’s staying on the bench area. Looked like he was grabbing at the left knee… maybe Portis kneed him on the drive? – 7:53 PM

More on this storyline
Adrian Wojnarowski: Lakers guard Malik Monk has tested out of Covid protocols, sources tell @Dave McMenamin and me. Prior testing led him into protocols on Wednesday. The Lakers play Minnesota on Friday night. Russell Westbrook, Avery Bradley, Dwight Howard and Talen Horton-Tucker remain in protocols. -via Twitter @wojespn / December 16, 2021
Ava Wallace: Wes Unseld Jr. about the worrying covid situation out of Sacramento — both teams knew Coach Alvin Gentry tested positive yesterday morning. “The league felt confident the game should proceed, and that’s all we can do is go on their recommendation.” -via Twitter @avarwallace / December 16, 2021
