Grant Williams: 'No malicious intent' behind hard foul on former Celtics
teammate Jayson Tatum
Grant Williams：對前塞爾提克隊友Jayson Tatum的犯規「無惡意意圖」
“J.T. is one of the my closest friends in the league,” said Williams, who
played with Tatum from 2019-23. “There was no intentionally trying to harm
him in any way. ... I don’t think anybody believed it was malicious intent
by any means because you don’t see any of those (Celtics) guys running up to
me.”
「JT是我在聯盟中最親近的朋友之一」曾與Tatum共同效力於塞爾提克隊（2019至2023
年）的Williams說。「我絕對沒有故意想要傷害他……我想沒有人認為這是惡意的，因為
你沒看到任何一個（塞爾提克）球員朝我衝過來。」
Tatum, who scored a game-high 32 points, declined to speak to the media
afterward.
Tatum本場比賽得到全場最高的32分，賽後拒絕接受媒體採訪。
Less than a minute after Williams was ejected, Ball was assessed a flagrant
foul for kicking his leg out as Tatum was shooting a 3-pointer. Officials
ruled that Ball closed out in a “reckless nature" that could have injured
Tatum. Ball fouled out on the play.
在Williams被驅逐出場不到一分鐘後，Ball在Tatum投三分時踢出一腿，隨即被判一級惡
意犯規。裁判認為Ball在封蓋時「動作魯莽」，有可能對Tatum造成傷害。Ball因此犯滿
離場。
In the closing minute, Bridges was ejected after he knocked the ball into the
stands.
“We can’t let our emotions get the best of us,” Bridges said.
比賽最後時刻，Bridges因將球擊向觀眾席而被驅逐出場。「我們不能讓情緒支配我們
，」Bridges說。
Both coaches were assessed technical fouls in what Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla
called a physical game. He refused to place any blame directly on Williams.
“I'm glad that (Tatum) is fine,” Mazzulla said. “What I liked the most is
that he jumped right up and didn't lay around. It didn't faze him. He got
right up, went to the free throw and did his business.”
Mazzulla said he liked the poise his team showed down the stretch.
在這場激烈的比賽中，兩位教練各被判技術犯規。塞爾提克教練Joe Mazzulla拒絕將責任
歸咎於Williams。「我很高興Tatum沒事，」Mazzulla說。「我最欣賞的是他馬上站起
來，並沒有躺在場上。他沒受影響，直接站起來走到罰球線並完成任務。」Mazzulla表示
，他喜歡球隊在比賽最後時刻所展現的冷靜。
