“Ouch!” Grant Williams gets butt smacked after Celtics win

The Boston Celtics are still in the race to the NBA Finals after forcing a Game 6 in yesterday’s 110-97 win over the Miami Heat to bring the series to 3-2.

The Boston Celtics have come back from a 3-0 deficit in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat to win two in a row. Last night’s Game 5 win brought the series to 3-2 and they will play Game 6 on Saturday.

After their 110-97 victory, the Celtics players were in a great mood. In fact, when Grant Williams was doing his postgame interview, some of the other players gave him a celebratory spank on their way to the locker room. Jaylen Brown was the first to spank Williams, catching him off guard. Williams kept talking, but threw a little “ouch” in there under his breath. Seconds later, Al Holford came by and gave him a much more audible spank.

If the Celtics can come back and win the series after being down 3-0, they’d be the first NBA team to ever do so.
