Jeff Teague tries to take Bradley Beal’s head off, gets called for flagrant (Video)
By Jack Crosby
With the Hawks not having a good start in Game 3, Jeff Teague took his frustrations out on Bradley Beal and he paid for it
The Atlanta Hawks were the best team in the Eastern Conference for the regular season, but in Game 3 on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, they’ve looked anything but. Through much of the first half, this game has been owned by the Wizards, which means that things are getting pretty frustrating for the Hawks.
However, no matter how frustrating it is, you don’t do what Jeff Teague did here on this play.
With Bradley Beal coming down the court for what would have easily been some more points for the Wizards, Teague nearly took his head off. Teague would ended up getting called for the Flagrant 1, and he should be pretty relieved at this point that he didn’t get shown to the locker room by the refs after this.
In reality, Teague probably should have been tossed for that nonsense, and he should send the referee crew in this one some gift baskets or something.
Hopefully this isn’t how anyone else on the Hawks deals with frustration, because the Wizards are literally taking them to the woodshed on Saturday afternoon in this one.
