Jaylen Brown Calls Out Ref After

Jaylen Brown was given two consecutive technical foul calls by the referees, which led to his ejection from the game before the Boston Celtics defeated the New York Knicks. Following his ejection, Brown was incensed.

During his postgame press conference, Brown called out the referee who threw him out of the game.

“I always thought my first career ejection would be something a little more exciting. Guys tussling up, thrown to the ground. Not some overemotional ref who had a bad day. What I’m most upset about is that I should’ve gotten my f***ing money’s worth,” Brown said, per NBC Sports Boston’s YouTube Channel.

Brown delved further into what happened before his ejection, explaining why he disagreed with it.

“After he called the first tech, I wasn’t even talking to him,” Brown said. “So I was talking to the other ref trying to explain my case. You can tell his emotions were involved and x, y, z, wanted to make it a back-and-forth. I’m explaining to the ref, and he calls a second tech from the other side of the court, which is a clear example of somebody exercising their power to try to get somebody thrown out of the game. I thought it was bull****. It is what it is. We got the win.”

The Celtics closed it out against the Knicks anyway, but Brown’s ejection seemed unwarranted, knowing where the game was at.
