The Celtics attempted 28 free throws to Charlotte’s nine, 17 of those by Tatum, who returned to the court without a hitch Saturday after that flagrant foul from Williams, who considers Tatum one of his closest friends. According to an NBA source, the two did talk following Friday’s game, with Williams apologizing for the hard foul. Tatum initially did not want to speak with reporters for a second consecutive night; he eventually agreed, but did not want to discuss Williams or the incident. “I don’t really want to talk about it,” Tatum said. “Got ready for the game today. We came to Charlotte, did what we was supposed to do, and going to Atlanta and try to get another win before we go home.”
