Resentment generates nothing good in people's lives, and acting based on it says a lot about the person who does so. Grant Williams has been seeing his NBA reputation decline due to his behavior with the Mavs, and it seems he didn't come out well from the Boston Celtics bench either. This is evident from the foolishness he did in the match between the Hornets and the Celtics.

"I thought JT and Grant were friends. I guess not."

Gone is the solid player, generous in effort and overflowing with camaraderie that amazed everyone in the NBA. Currently, Grant Williams is perceived as a troublesome individual whose play does not compensate for the discipline issues he creates. This image was already entrenched in the league after his exit from the Dallas Mavericks, but it is amplified by the action that marked the game in which the Boston Celtics won 109-124 against the Charlotte Hornets.

Joe Mazzulla liked how Jayson Tatum reacted to the Grant Williams foul:

"I'm glad that he's fine. What I like most is that he jumped right up, didn't lay around, didn't really phase... I'm happy that he's okay... I just like how JT handled it, it was great." pic.com/rSozygHbzo

Jayson Tatum was dribbling the ball down the center of the court when suddenly, Grant Williams decided to charge at him indiscriminately, without going for the ball and with the sole aim of throwing him to the ground. Tatum's composed reaction was highly praised by his coach, Mazzulla, while Jaylen Brown was surprised by the way his former teammate acted. The Hornets' player was ejected after this foul, and his image is severely tarnished.
