Former Boston Celtics player Brian Scalabrine called Miami Heat guard Caleb Martin's hard foul on Jayson Tatum at the end of Game 1 a 'dirty play.'
The Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat handily 114-94 in Game 1 of their opening-round playoff series, but controversy ensued toward the end of the game. Celtics star Jayson Tatum was going up for a rebound when Caleb Martin rushed into the paint and threw a hard block. Tatum fell hard to the ground. Martin exchanged words with Jaylen Brown as Tatum walked away from the commotion. There were 59.4 seconds left in the game at that moment.
Former Celtics player Brian Scalabrine, who is currently an analyst for NBC Sports Boston, suggested there was a nefarious reason behind Martin flying into the paint. 'The only thing I would say about this, I’m not trying to start nothing here, but I’m just … Erik Spoelstra called a timeout with 1:30 down by 16 , 30 seconds later that play happens,' Scalabrine said.
