Someone forgot to tell the Warriors that the All-Star break was over and they were allowed to guard Jaylen Brown.
Golden State’s bold strategy backfired, as Brown erupted for 29 points in the Celtics’ 140-88 shellacking Sunday afternoon. He probably could have dropped a relatively stress-free 40 if he continued to play.

This was simply his latest masterful performance in a string of strong showings. Brown averaged 28.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal this week, guiding the Celtics to a 3-0 record and garnering Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors in the process.
