Jaylen Brown on heated exchange, physicality against the Pistons
Jaylen Brown and Isaiah Stewart both received technical fouls following their exchange (Charles Krupa/AP Photo).The Celtics had their six-game win streak broken on Monday night in a 112-105 loss to the Pistons, but they didn’t go down without a fight, in multiple senses of the word.
Jaylen Brown kept up his MVP-caliber scoring season, dropping 34 points as well as Derrick White putting up 31, but they couldn’t do enough to hold off Cade Cunningham’s Pistons.
However, while Brown posted another great game, he was a talking point for more than just his scoring, as he got into it with Piston’s big man, Isaiah Stewart.
