When asked about the interaction postgame, Brown was blunt.
"Giannis is a child," Brown told reporters. "I'm just focused on helping my team get a win. And that's what we did tonight."
He's not the only Celtic who was frustrated by Antetokounmpo. Jayson Tatum, too, shared some frustrations with the Greek Freak, whose close out on a three forced the Boston star to roll his ankle. No foul call was made by officials.
"It's a tough situation," Tatum said of the play. "I get my fair share of techs throughout the season, rightfully so and rightfully so. But there's certain calls I just feel like you can't miss. Your job is to protect the guys on the court, protect the shooter. That's something I could have been out with, for six weeks or whatever...That (expletive) is frustrating."
Brown and Tatum combined for 45 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists in the 113-107 win for Boston. Giannis-related issues aside, it was a pretty good day for the Celtics, who are second in the Eastern Conference.
