Controversy surrounded the Boston Celtics' 105-103 loss to the Utah Jazz on Monday night. With less than a minute left in the game, the hosts had the ball and a one-point advantage. They turned to Jaylen Brown to help put the finishing touches on what would have been a bounce-back win to climb to .500.
As the former Finals MVP went to attack the basket, his defender, Keyonte George, stumbled to the TD Garden parquet. That led to Brown tripping over him as he started driving downhill. Despite the clear-cut foul, the whistle never blew.
Instead, the Jazz scooped up the loose ball and went the other way.
