Grant Williams poked star Jimmy Butler late, and the Boston Celtics paid dearly in a 111-105 Game 2 loss Friday, falling behind the Miami Heat 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals.
With 6:37 left in the fourth, Williams put the Celtics up 96-87 with a three-pointer before jawing with Butler as the two jogged to the other end of the floor. On the next Heat possession, Butler aggressively posted up Williams, hitting a short jump shot and drawing a foul. After the whistle, Butler and Williams met face-to-face, continuing to shout at one another before teammates intervened.
