Boston Celtics All-Star Jayson Tatum was ejected for the first time in his career Monday night against the New York Knicks, earning his second technical in the fourth quarter.
"I don't know," Tatum said when asked what led to the second technical, according to ESPN.
Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics plays defense against Jalen Brunson, left, of the New York Knicks on Feb. 27, 2023, at Madison Square Garden. "But all the great players get thrown out a few times in their career," he said with a smile."So, it's good for my rep." Tatum told reporters after the game that his ejection came about after a sarcastic quip to an official. "It's tough," Tatum said."The first one, no call. If you look, it was clearly a foul. And those are the ones that's tough. You get a tech for something that you probably was right about. [On the] second one, I just told him this was probably the best-officiated game I've been a part of.
The Knicks had a significant advantage at the free-throw line, going to the charity stripe 34 times to Boston’s 14. for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
