Jaylen Brown and the Celtics aren’t yet ready to bow out into the postseason, claiming a 127-102 victory in front of an emotional TD Garden crowd on Wednesday.
Here are the takeaways.
Patient Jaylen Brown is an incredible basketball player
To stay alive, the Celtics needed a near-perfect game from Jaylen Brown, and they got one.
“Near-perfect” for Brown doesn’t mean a huge scoring night, although he was excellent on that front – 26 points on 9-for-17 shooting, including three loud 3-pointers. His scoring unlocks the Celtics with Jayson Tatum absent, but we all knew that would be the case.
