Gotatt: Bradley said he was going to beat me up, and I told him to grow taller and come back

The Wizards and Celtics ushered in the Battle of King's Mountain today, and the two sides have clashed frequently in previous encounters. Wizards center Marcin Gortat said the Celtics were fomenting hostility between the two teams.

"We played tough but only cared about ourselves. And they want to provoke us," Gotat said before the game, "Avery Bradley told me last game that if I did that again, he would beat me." I laughed at him, and I said come back to me when you're older and taller. They maintain unity by hating us. ”
