The Pool Report interview was conducted by Adam Himmelsbach, Boston Globe, with Crew Chief Kevin Scott following tonight’s Utah at Boston game.

 November 3, 2025

QUESTION: With about 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Keyonte George fell in front of Jaylen Brown, who was driving toward the basket. Brown then fell over George, but no foul was called. What was your view of this play, and why was no foul called on George? 

 SCOTT: During live play the crew observed George slip and fall just prior to Brown slipping on the same spot resulting in the ball becoming loose prior to any contact. 

QUESTION: During live play that was your view. Did you have a chance to look at it? Is that still your view of it?

 SCOTT: That’s still my view after being on the floor in live play.

QUESTION: Why is that not a foul?

 SCOTT: Because the crew observed both players slip and fall prior to any contact. That’s why a foul was not called during live play.
