Jaylen Brown Calls Out Joel Embiid For Flopping, 'Getting Extra Calls' After Celtics Elimination originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Celtics' season is over after a 109-100 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
Joel Embiid led all players with 34 points and was a key reason for the 76ers' Game 7 victory. However, Jaylen Brown was not too pleased with how Embiid played the game and how he was officiated.
“We didn't really have the answers for him," Brown told reporters after the game. "We tried a bunch of different things. He's a big body. He also was flopping around. He got some extra calls and stuff like that, and they rewarded him for that, but that's the league we’re in.”
Embiid shot 11 free throws, which was also the most of any player in the game. He did pick up a technical foul for a hit on Brown after the whistle at one point in the game. However, the Celtics had a tough time with the former MVP all game.
Brown had 33, leading all players on the Celtics. The Celtics were without Jayson Tatum, who was ruled out with knee stiffness before the game. The Celtics took a cautious approach with their star player, but having Tatum could have definitely changed the outcome of this game. Now, the Celtics will look to regroup in the offseason in hopes of getting back to the NBA Finals next season.
