1. Against the New York Knicks, Jaylen Brown didn’t get it done and the Boston Celtics lost. Following that game, Brown expressed his love for the game. All of the game. The highs and the lows. And Brown promised he’d be better next time.
Promise kept.
This around, Brown made the clutch free throw to help get the game to overtime. In the extra period, Brown carried the Celtics by scoring 11 of his 37 points.
NBA players say a lot of things about “being better” after disappointing losses. Heck, Brown has repeated that phrase somewhat regularly over the last few years.
