The 2nd quarter of the Boston Celtics vs Dallas Mavericks saw P.J. Washington get physical with Kristaps Porzingis. The Mavs were down 12 points at the 9:23 mark (22-34) when the Latvian center and the 25-year-old Dallas forward had a fallout. Porzingis was coming down the court when the two had a slight clash.

Not paying attention to it, the 7’2 Celtics big man got in front of Washington, who for some reason, didn’t like it. Not wasting a moment, he immediately pulled him down to the floor. It was probably the cleanest physical move in the NBA. However, P.J. was immediately called for a foul as KP6 walked toward him for a few words.

But teammates and refs quickly diffused the situation. Watching the whole situation, Doris Burke, took the opportunity to direct a jab at the media and WNBA. And who else to headline it but Caitlin Clark? “If that were Caitlin Clark it might spark a debate for a week,” she pointed out.
