It's only the weak Pistons opposite but Jaylen Brown shone again. Since the All-Star Game was cut, the Celtics guard/wing has been excellent and Detroit has never been able to slow him down. Nothing revolutionary in his performance, with baskets near the circle, then a hot 3-pointer after the break, with three winning baskets in the third quarter.
“It was hard to defend on him before, but we could limit him because he didn't shoot as well as he does now. Now he is very good at shooting”, notes Monty Williams.
Jaylen Brown will finish the game with 33 points – all scored before the last quarter – at 13/19 shooting including 3/8 at 3-points. That’s an almost perfect 10/11 at 2-pts.
Nearly 33 points on average when Jayson Tatum is absent
“I've seen good things and I like the way he behaves on the pitch. He plays balanced basketball on both ends of the court, possession after possession, and takes the shots he wants. He plays for himself and for his teammates. It’s an honor to coach him. It’s very pleasant to watch”rejoices Joe Mazzulla.
What is worth remembering, in addition to his performance, is the confirmation that Jaylen Brown provides when he has to carry the Celtics. In Michigan, the league leaders were without Jayson Tatum, who was injured in the ankle. This season, five times, the All-Star was not in uniform and Jaylen Brown then averaged 32.6 points.
“I just wanted to be aggressive because we had people absent,” comments “JB”, also referring to Jrue Holiday, who has just missed Boston’s last three matches. “When Tatum is not there, I know I have to play faster. »
