Jaylen Brown on Georges Niang incident: Scott Foster comes in and just gives me a tech
After the game, Jaylen Brown was asked about the incident and made it clear he wasn’t in agreement with the double-tech call. According to Brown, “He made a play and I responded to it. And here comes Scott Foster. Right away before even deciphering the situation, gives me a tech.”

Jaylen Brown with some high praise for Joel Embiid: “(He) came out and was unbelievable all series with a bad knee. He was just dominant from the midrange, from 2, at the basket, making his free throws, Joel Embiid is a hell of a player…nothing but respect for him as well.” – 7:28 PM
