DETROIT – Jaylen Brown planted his feet beyond the 3-point arc in the right corner Friday night, waiting for his opportunity to give Boston a lift over the persistent Detroit Pistons.
Down by one point with 37 seconds remaining, Boston had plenty of veterans it could have turned to during the crunch time situation. However, it was the team’s youngest member that got the call.
Al Horford drove from the top of the key and kicked it out to Brown in the corner. Without hesitation, the rookie rose up off the catch and sunk the 3-pointer while drawing a foul from Marcus Morris.
