Grant Williams was ejected for a flagrant 2 on former Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum, which Jaylen Brown said was similar to a 'Ray Lewis' hit.

The Celtics won the title in their first year without Williams. Well, the Celtics visited Williams' new team in the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night, and Williams showed no mercy.
