'The impact was significant': Referee explained why Grant Williams was ejected late in Celtics-Hornets game
Briefly

"At review we saw that he accelerated his speed prior to the contact, and so he makes significant contact with the dribbler. The acceleration is considered wind up, the impact was significant, potential for injury..." - James Williams, crew chief.
"Grant Williams was ejected from the game because his foul was upgraded to a Flagrant Foul Penalty 2 and per rule that carries an automatic ejection..." - James Williams.
"It was a transition opportunity and I was trying to make a play on the ball. I did reach across his body and probably when you slow down the replay it looks like I kind of make a play and just kind of go after it." - Grant Williams.
