Jaylen Brown Sparks Controversy with Fiery Critique of Officials After Zero Free Throws Against Spurs

Jaylen Brown Sparks Controversy with Fiery Critique of Officials After Zero Free Throws Against Spurs

While we can’t break down every call and non-call Brown has in mind, the data indicates he might have a point. As a team, the Celtics had received 4.4 fewer free-throw attempts than their opponent per game entering Saturday, the lowest mark in the NBA, while the Spurs are the second-highest at 4.7 more than their opponent per game (the Los Angeles Lakers are first at 4.8 more).

What’s more, if we are to take “a good team” to mean a team that has won at least 60% of its games this season, that free-throw margin becomes an incredible 10.7 fewer per game when including the Spurs game. In a Nov. 1 loss to the Houston Rockets, Houston received 28 more free-throw attempts than Boston.
