Jayson Tatum had a clear path to the basket after a quick shot from Al Horford. He didn’t hesitate and turned on the Jets to leave Kyle Lowry for a slam.

Boston’s all-star forward clung to the edge and looked at umpire Marc Davis, who wondered why there was no foul. Tatum didn’t respond to Davis and made a gesture that Davis didn’t like.

The action earned him a technical error that resulted in the TD Garden audience showering Marc Davis with boos. In some parts of the arena, chants could be heard:

“ref you shit”
