Al Horford explained why he was ‘mad’ after Bam Adebayo’s flagrant foul on Jayson Tatum

Al Horford’s reaction to Bam Adebayo’s brush with Jayson Tatum: After watching Kristaps Porzingis exit Monday’s Game 4 win over the Heat, Celtics players saw what initially appeared to be another high-profile injury.

Heat center Bam Adebayo got a little too close on a close-out with Jayson Tatum after the play was whistled dead in the fourth quarter. Adebayo’s foot ended up underneath where Tatum landed following a shot, resulting in the Celtics forward on the ground in pain after twisting his ankle.

“Same ankle that I hurt in Game 7 last year, that I hurt against the Warriors, that I tweaked against the Clippers,” Tatum said after the game.
