The Celtics lost to the Jazz in Boston on Monday night. Boston had a lead in the final minute, but an uncalled trip on Keyonte George caused Jaylen Brown to turn the ball over and Utah ended up winning on a putback by Jusuf Nurkic.
After the game, Brown spoke to the media and was asked about the non-call. He did not hold back, though he did briefly pause to tell the press they were the ones who were going to get him fined by asking.

Brown will most certainly be fined for these comments. At least he's mentally prepared.
