Given time to reflect, Sixers coach Brett Brown might have called timeout during Boston's second-quarter run

After Thursday’s 108-103 loss to the Boston Celtics that put the 76ers down 2-0 in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal, Sixers coach Brett Brown was defiant when discussing his strategy.

Trailing by as many as 22 points in the second quarter, Boston cut the deficit to 56-51 at halftime. The Celtics finished the second quarter on a 21-5 run and through it all, Brown refused to call a timeout.

“If I had to do it again, I’d do the same thing,” Brown said after the game.

Given some time to reflect Brown, slightly changed his tune.
