During a surprise 124-103 blowout loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday, six-time All-Star Boston Celtics power forward Jayson Tatum was whistled for what fans felt was an unfair technical foul. Now, it appears they (and Brian Scalabrine) were on to something.

This marked an off-night for Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, who shot just 4-of-17 from the field (2-of-9 from three) en route to 16 points. He finished minus-11 on the evening. Boston also shot 27.9 percent from three. Jaylen Brown's 24 points paced the team.

If that holds true, Boston could be up for another dominant run in attempt to repeat as NBA Champions. Even with a good stretch, the outcome likely was no less frustrating for the Celtics or their fans.
