Marvin’s flagrant

Hawks forward Marvin Williams became the least popular person in Boston after committing a flagrant foul on Rajon Rondo in the third quarter. Williams was ejected from the game.

“I knew no question that it would be a flagrant,” Williams said after the game. “But a Flagrant 2? Like I said, I was trying to catch him. I wasn’t trying to take him out. I would never try to hurt anybody, so for them to kick me out… It was a good call. I saw it on TV and it did look pretty bad, so I can’t argue that at all. I just want Rondo to know that I would never try to hurt him.”

Williams said he would call Rondo from the team’s bus and apologize.

“We have been friends since high school, played against each other in high school,” Williams said. “He knows what type of person I am, and he knows I would never try to do anything like that to hurt him.”
