4 takeaways as Jaylen Brown returns in Celtics’ preseason opener vs. Magic

COMMENTARY

Here are the takeaways, as the Celtics rallied late against the Magic in front of a raucous TD Garden crowd (by preseason standards) to claim a 98-97 victory in their preseason opener.

1. After the game, NBC Sports Boston’s Abby Chin noted to Jaylen Brown — who returned from wrist surgery — that he looked happy to be on the floor. Chin specifically pointed out that Brown blew kisses to his teammates.

“Kisses?” Brown asked incredulously. “Me? Kisses? I don’t know about that one.”

Chin laughed and offered to find video of the moment (she does work for the broadcast station, after all).
