Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum declined to comment on the harsh foul he received from former teammate Grant Williams on Friday night.

On Saturday, Tatum was asked about it and declined to comment.

“I mean, I don’t really want to talk about it,” Tatum said. “It’s just… we prepared for today’s game, came to Charlotte and did what we were supposed to do, and we’re going to Atlanta to try to get another win before we go back home.”

Tatum later mentioned Williams by name when asked how he responds when teams turn to a more physical style of play.

“You understand that’s their game plan,” Tatum said. “They put Grant on me to deny, they didn’t want me to get the ball, they protected my face.”

“It makes you stronger, it makes you better,” he added. “You discover more ways to impact the game. Don’t limit yourself to just one way to be effective. I lift every game day, so that (expletive) doesn’t really bother me.”

Here’s a look at the work.

Although it didn’t really seem to bother Tatum, his superstar teammate Jaylen Brown was bothered by the approach Williams took against Tatum.

“Like, what are we talking about? Do you see the same play that I was seeing?” Brown said reporters. “He hit it like it was a football play. Like Ray Lewis crossed the middle or something. It is what it is. Grant knows better than that.”

“I thought JT and Grant were friends…I guess not,” Brown said.

On the other hand, Williams said he never goes out on the court to try to hurt anyone.

“I’m not trying to hurt anyone. We all know he’s one of my closest friends in the league,” Williams told NBC Sports Boston. “JB kind of escalated things, but I understand he’s trying to protect his teammate. But that’s (Tatum) my dog. No matter what, I’ve got his back… There’s no malice or any problem with that.”

However, the Celtics went to Charlotte to win, not to fight, and that’s precisely what they did.

They played Charlotte twice in a row and defeated them easily. The Celtics won Friday’s game 124-109 and, less than 24 hours later, beat the Hornets again, 113-103.

The Celtics are now 6-1 on the young season and are the second seed in the Eastern Conference behind the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers.
