I don't mean to be the turd in the punchbowl here, but didn't Toronto score on Grant a couple times in a row? Obviously, he had the big block on the 3PA. But, I thought Siakam scored on him like 2 out of 3 possessions in the last few minutes as well.
I'll scoop out that turd.
Grant entered the 4th Quarter at 7:13. Toronto scored 9pts with Granite on the floor for 7 of those minutes.
1. Siakam did drive on Grant right away, GW was stout and replays show PS walking. No call. PS missed shot, Tatum probably should have grabbed the reb but was busy signalling travel to the ref. PS scores on his put back after his miss shot.
2. Next trip down Siakam tried to drive on Grant. GW stout, slows PS down. Smart steals ball from Siakam.
3. 3rd straight trip down that Siakam tries to drive on Granite. GW stops him . Grant steals the ball in the lane
4. Next trip down. Siakam picks Brown. Granite picks up Lowrey. KL goes nowhere and turns the ball over trying to pass back to PS.
5. A couple of picks set on Grant. He picks up Kemba's man and also makes it difficult for PS drive. PS hits a diving, tough drive.
6. Siakam drives on Grant. Phantom Foul called on Grant. even SVG thought Brad should challenge the call
7. Grant switches on to OG. and does nothing in 1 possession
8. next possession. OG picks Smart. Lowry torches Grant going to the rim
1:32 - Theis back in for 11 seconds fouls Lowry. 2pts
1:21 Grant back in
9. Grant gets switched on to FVV. Stops FVV from penetrating.
:13 seconds left Toronto down 3pts and FVV takes a jumper. Grant blocks the attempt
So in the last 7 minutes, of a high leverage game/situation, the Celtics gave up 9pts with Grant on the floor. While Grant mostly guarded an All-Star
