1. After the Oklahoma City loss, Jaylen Brown urged his teammates to play with urgency and to find that fire within themselves. While Brown can ask that of his teammates, all he can really do is lead by example. And lead by example he did against the Hornets.
Brown outscored Charlotte 20-19 by himself in the first quarter. More than just hitting shots, Brown was all over the floor. He had five rebounds and two assists in the period and played good defense too. This game was an example of Brown using his skills and athleticism to overwhelm an inferior opponent.
