Jaylen Brown poured in 21 points in the opening half of the Boston Celtics ' preseason opener against the Memphis Grizzlies.
“JB [Jaylen Brown] has always been a leader for us,” Baylor Scheierman told reporters at last week’s media day. “I mean, even when JT [Jayson Tatum] was, obviously, healthy, and I think, obviously, now that JT is going to be out, he's definitely taking that load on even more.”
Man, was he right.
Brown wasted no time sending his teammates, and the league, a message in the Boston Celtics’ preseason opener against the Memphis Grizzlies -- the Celtics aren’t backing down from this season.
