As the Boston Celtics walked back into the locker room for the halftime break at Houston's Toyota Center, Jayson Tatum smacked a hand sanitizer dispenser to the ground in frustration. Third-year shooting guard Baylor Scheierman, walking a few steps behind Tatum, set it back up as the rest of the team walked down the tunnel. The Celtics went on to lose with a 109-93 final score, dropping their season record to 5-2.
Tatum finished the loss with 19 points on 5/16 shooting from the field and 1/7 shooting from behind the 3-point arc. Tatum's moment of frustration was caught on camera, drawing attention from fans on social media. The Rockets were led by center Alperen Sengun, who finished the game with 26 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds.
