For Jaylen Brown, he never got the chance to put the finishing touches on another exceptional performance Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers.
Brown’s night ended prematurely in the 122-117 defeat for the Boston Celtics at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, as the fourth-year swingman fouled out with 1:59 left in regulation with the game still in the balance.
Brown, who flirted with a triple-double by recording 18 points, 8 rebounds and a career-high 8 assists, thought the complexion of the contest would have changed if he could have avoided picking up his sixth and final foul when he bit on a Malcolm Brogdon pump-fake.
