‘I got to do better’: Jaylen Brown focuses on turnovers instead of 40-point performance

Celtics star Jaylen Brown had an historic performance in the Game 3, 109-103, loss to the Heat on Saturday.

Brown scored a career playoff-high 40 points on 14-of-20 shooting. His only misses came from behind the arc, meaning he went 100 percent within it (11-for-11). That made him the first player in playoff history to make all of their 2-point field goals and score at least 40 points in a game.

But Brown’s overall performance certainly fell short of perfect. In addition to making just 3-of-9 3-pointers, Brown committed a game-high seven turnovers, with six of them coming in the second half.
