Scott Foster got this one wrong.
Video showed that Niang contacted Brown from his position on the 76ers bench. As Brown stood up, Niang reached out with his right hand to touch Brown's waist. He maintained contact with Brown's left leg as the Celtics forward turned upcourt to rejoin play. That's when Brown turned around to confront the 76ers bench.
Foster announced after the review that both Niang and Brown were assessed technicals. Niang was issued a technical for"grabbing the leg of Brown by the bench." Brown was issued a technical because Foster determined that he"taunted the bench unnecessarily.""I don't know which way I should have responded to it,"."But if I didn't do anything it probably would have played on.
“I definitely didn’t want to get a tech in that situation, but somehow coming out of all that commotion, it ended up being even." The league did not rescind Niang's technical. Had the call been made correctly on the court, the Celtics would have been awarded a free throw. Since the call was for double technicals, neither team shot a free throw.
Fortunately for the Celtics, the call ultimately didn't have an impact on the outcome of the game. Boston pulled away in the second half for a 112-88 win to advance to the Eastern Conference finals. With the technical rescinded, Brown avoids the $2,000 fine that comes with it. He also avoids accumulating a technical. Players are suspended after their seventh technical foul of the postseason.
