BOSTON — Moments after Jaylen Brown completed his Game 2 postgame press conference, sirens began to blare inside TD Garden. Security urged reporters to quickly head for the exits, while players rushed out of their locker rooms to leave the arena.
Dozens of people flooded the parking lot outside North Station. The rest of the postgame media availabilities — including Jayson Tatum’s — were abruptly canceled.
Reporters who have covered the team for over a decade shared that they had never experienced such an evacuation, one occurring smack in the middle of postgame media.
