Boston Celtics fans were not pleased with how the team handled the clutch against the Indiana Pacers. A team without Tyrese Haliburton rallied to stay in striking distance. Everything seemed to be going well for the squad entering the half. Then, a 44-point rally came in during the third quarter. All of a sudden members of the fanbase were livid with Buddy Hield, Kristaps Porzingis, and Benedict Mathurin.

The last few minutes of the Celtics and Pacers game can only be described as disastrous. It is safe to say that referees will not have an easy time hanging around on social media. Largely because of a supposed missed call on Buddy Hield when he hit Jaylen Brown’s head. The other was when game-winning free throws were given to Benedict Mathurin because of a foul from Kristaps Porzingis.

Celtics fans could only react with statements like, “Hitting Brown on the head is not a foul Mathurin jumping into Porzingis is a foul. … I don‘t understand NBA rules and officiating anymore.”

It was the same sentiment throughout, “Shameless ref job, Brown gets hit in the head, no foul, Mathurin initiates the contact but the foul is on Porzingis.”

Some members of the Celtics faithful even likened it to awful calls they have seen on the gridiron, “Heartbreaking loss for the Celtics. Mathurin was fouled by Porzingis in the final seconds. That final play though felt like a football call lol.”
