Celtics Star Jaylen Brown Viewed Warriors’ Game Plan As ‘Disrespectful.
oston Celtics star Jaylen Brown isn’t accustomed to operating with much space on the offensive end since he’s one of the premier scorers in the NBA.
But Brown got all the room he wanted in Boston’s 140-88 thumping of the Golden State Warriors on Sunday at TD Garden.
The Warriors backed off Brown in the first quarter as part of a puzzling defensive strategy in which they dared the three-time All-Star to beat them from the perimeter. Brown had no issues doing that, scoring 19 of his game-high 29 points in the opening frame and hitting 5-of-9 3-pointers in the first 12 minutes.
