- Jaylen Brown’s stellar season with the Boston Celtics has validated his massive offseason contract.
Since the All-Star break, the Boston guard has increased his output significantly and become a more reliable scorer. Brown led the Celtics to a 129-102 away victory over the Detroit Pistons in a different game without Jayson Tatum. Without missing a shot inside the arc, Brown scored 33 points in the win. Brown scored 30 or more points for the sixth time in his performance since the All-Star break.
As shown on postgame television, Brown told NBC Sports Boston’s Abby Chin after the win, “I just tried to be aggressive coming out.” “We had some guys out, I know that.” I looked for my teammates, but I didn’t get any assists this evening. I believed I made a few excellent passes.
Playing a little bit faster and attempting to settle into a rhythm both on defense and offense, Brown continued. Allow the game to resolve itself. The Celtics are grateful for Brown’s extra effort to perform like a star, especially because other important players like Jrue Holiday and Al Horford are not in the starting lineup.
Following the victory, according to NBC Sports Boston’s postgame coverage, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla told reporters, “Great stuff, I love the way he’s carried himself out there on the court.” He’s going through everything on both ends of the floor. He’s getting the shots he desires. He’s playing both to benefit himself and his group. It has been a privilege to mentor him. He has been playing both ends of the court with versatility. With the win, the Celtics began a six-game road trip and will be hoping to build on this momentum heading into their Saturday night game against the Bulls in Chicago.
