Jaylen Brown sidesteps question about Grant Williams 'poking the bear' in Jimmy Butler

The Heat went on a 24-9 run after that point, and Butler was dominant once again in this game. The way things played out is legitimately why the old saying is to never "poke the bear," and Williams found out the hard way.

While Butler simply grinned after it happened, things escalated a bit shortly after. It's obvious the incident helped ignite Butler and the Heat, but after the game, Celtics star Jaylen Brown was asked if he thought Williams made a mistake by "poking the bear" with Butler, a question he opted not to answer, as Bleacher Report revealed.

Williams' three put the Celtics up by nine with 6:37 remaining in the game, but immediately after the play, Butler proceeded to draw an and-one on Williams and got right into his face. Over the span of the next few minutes, Butler scored on Williams three times, including a bucket to first tie the game, followed by one to take the lead immediately after.

The Celtics find themselves not only down 2-0 in the series but heading on the road to Miami for Games 3 and 4. To make matters worse, Boston has had no answer for Butler to this point, as the 33-year-old All-Star wrapped up Game 2 with 27 points, eight rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks. Although the Celtics have been good on the road this year, the Butler factor alone is going to make winning one, yet alone two games in Miami, a daunting task.
