Terry Rozier and Brandon Jennings had some history before their most recent flare-up.
The Celtics guard and the Wizards guard were ejected Thursday from Game 3 of their teams’ Eastern Conference semifinals series after exchanging fouls, followed by a double technical foul, in the fourth quarter.
But it wasn’t the first time they had clashed on the court. This Game 1 incident previewed what was to come later.
Brandon Jennings went to step on Terry Rozier's shoe so he couldn't put it back on.

The Wizards won Game 3 116-89, cutting the Celtics’ lead to 2-1 in their second-round NBA playoff series.
They’ll meet again Sunday in Game 4, with many watching Rozier and Jennings closely to see if they’re able to play nice.
They probably won’t.
