Midway through the second quarter, the Celtics pulled out to a 40-28 advantage, their largest lead of the game, before Wall, who went scoreless in the first quarter, led the Wizards on a 20-8 run to end the half tied at 48. He said that in the wake of Kelly Oubre charging and shoving Olynyk in Wizards-Celtics Game 3 after taking offense to a questionable Olynyk screen set against him.

There were a total of eight technical fouls in the game, including two each on Celtics guard Terry Rozier and Wizards guard Brandon Jennings, who were both ejected. After Washington put the defensive clamps on him starting in Game 3, he was unable to help the Celtics in another manner. Olynyk only received the common foul. “It’s got to be called differently”.
Later on in the video, other players like Jason Smith echoed the “next man up” mentality.
“They know who to target”.
From there, Green referenced that time in the 2015 postseason where Olynyk tugged on Kevin Love’s arm, forcing Love to get season-ending surgery on his dislocated shoulder.
“I felt like Atlanta was a little bit more physical, as far as our style”. Thomas was mad that the referees allowed the Wizards to get away with holding and grabbing him but acknowledged the 26-0 run – not the officiating – decided the game.
“I talked about this (Sunday) and I’m around Kelly every day”, said Stevens.
Draymond Green has let it be known that he’s no fan of Boston Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk.
“Kelly Olynyk is a dirty player, man”, Green said on Dray Day.
Then he defended Oubre by asserting that Olynyk plays “dirty”. Game 4 is Sunday evening in Washington. Like come on man, it’s playoff basketball, things are gonna get-did he really do something to harm somebody? But he said Olynyk takes it to another level. “I think, especially in that third quarter, I might have hit the ground five or six straight times, and I’m not the one that likes hitting the ground”. “It’s a big difference between knowing all the trick because all the tricks ain’t doing stuff to hurt people”, Green said.
“I don’t agree with that assessment (that Olynyk is a dirty player)”, Stevens said. Jackson predicted the league offices would not suspend Oubre for Game 4 of the series, but anticipated a fine coming the second-year forward’s way.
