What In World Was P.J. Tucker Doing On Ridiculous Flop During Game 3?

BOSTON — Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker saw LL Cool J on hand during Game 3 at TD Garden and put on quite the acting display in the first half against the Boston Celtics.

Tucker, viewed as an impactful defender due to his size and strength while standing at 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, went to the ground like a bag of feathers while embellishing a first-half charging call on Celtics star Jayson Tatum.

And not long after that play in which Tucker covered 10 or so yards on the parquet, the veteran then acted again with the call going against Jaylen Brown. You would have thought Brown tried to push Tucker to Charlestown.

Those on Twitter certainly didn’t let Tucker get off the hook, though.

Tucker helped the Heat get out to a big lead during the first half, Miami leading by as many as 26 points, before Boston’s second-quarter run made it a game entering the intermission.
