The Celtics had five technical fouls called against them in Game 1's 93-79 loss to the Heat.
Doc Rivers, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo received technicals, while they also had two delay of games and one defensive three-second call.
"I know mine wasn't. I can tell you that much. I don't know how long I've been in the league, but that has to rank as the worst I've ever had. I would have loved to earn it."
Ed Malloy called Rivers' technical foul.
