Jaylen Brown Condemns Officiating After Celtics’ 100-95 Loss to Spurs, Names Ref Curtis Blair

A locker-room outburst escalated his season-long complaints about inconsistent calls following a game with only four Celtics free throws.

Overview

  • Brown delivered a profanity-laced critique of the crew after the loss at TD Garden and said he would accept any fine.
  • He highlighted the disparity at the line, with San Antonio attempting 20 free throws to Boston’s four; he had zero attempts.
  • Brown specifically called out Curtis Blair and referenced officials Nick Buchert and Jason Goldenberg as having a poor night.
  • League precedent includes fines for profane interviews, with the AP noting a recent $25,000 penalty for Jalen Green, though no fine for Brown has been announced.
  • The comments continue a week of grievances about officiating, following his criticism after a loss to Denver despite entering the night averaging a career-high 7.4 free throws per game.
