Celtics’ Foul Frenzy: Robinson’s Wild Ride…
BOSTON — Who would’ve thunk it, folks? Mitchell Robinson, the unexpected hoop-hero of the hour, causing more chaos than a squirrel in a peanut factory! Turns out, this Knicks maestro with a snail-paced scoring average dazzled the Celtics with his strategic surprise pops like a confetti cannon at a quiet ballroom. It turns out, when Robinson had no eyes for shooting and charged in with a +19 vibe in Game 2, the Celts were bamboozled into calling for fouls on him like they were desperate for a whistle symphony!
Enter Coach Joe Mazzulla, orchestrating this basketball opera with a decision more confounding than a plot twist in a telenovela! He started a foul fest on Robinson like it was a carnival game, thinking they’d trap him at the line like a cow in a cabbage patch. Knick’s savant sensei, Tom Thibodeau, was rubbing his hands in glee, waiting like a prankster with an ace up his sleeve. As if written by a comic script, he let Robinson soar, waiting to pounce on the Celtics’ mistake and unleashing the Anunoby beast to wrestle the game from Tatum’s clutches.
And so cooked the juiciest drama stew as Robinson, the free-throw enigma himself, bounced back into action like a low-flying pigeon on a hot pursuit. While the Celtics clumsily tangoed with fate, Robinson was the secret sauce, fanning the flames of confusion while Jalen Brunson bulldozed over Holiday’s defenses. Mazzulla’s foul orchestra ended in calamity as the fast-paced basketball opera only crescendoed with Robinson leading the merry dance to victory! Ka-Boom, sports friends, what a show!
