Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are the top two duo in the league if not the best. Both the Celtics star have not only performed admirably in the past few seasons but successfully made their journey to the NBA finals last season. Brown has considerably increased his points and production over the last few years and has shown great potential for being a superstar in the league.
According to Jaylen Brown, the Celtics as a team is way stronger than can perform better which the league hasn’t seen yet. When asked by the reporter where the Celtics were as a team, “I think we’re in a good spot and I think we still haven’t played our best ball yet,” Brown said confidently. In the game against the Washington Wizards, the Celtics came to the court without their scoring leader and superstar Jayson Tatum. Jaylen Brown did not shy away from taking charge of the offense and scored season-high 36 points on the Wizards’ defense.
Brown however pointed out their missing defense this season. Interestingly last year, Boston had the best defense in the league. According to the Celtics guard, so far this season they have kept their focus on offense and let it dictate their game. “Defensively I think we can pick it up….we have let our offense dictate things,” Brown said. However, Brown made it clear that whatever spot they are in right now, he is fine with it. He also mentioned that the guys on the roster are inspired and want to be aggressive on the offense.
Jaylen Brown shines in Celtics win over Wizards
The Celtics defeated the Wizards 115-124 and led the scoring by as many as 25 points at the end of the 3rd quarter. With their 16th win of the season, the Celtics have moved to the top spot in the Western Conference this season over Milwaukee Bucks. They also have the best record in the NBA. Brown scored much-needed team-high 36 points for the Celtics. Behind Brown, the newly acquired Malcolm Brogdon scored crucial 17 points and Derrick White also came clutch with his 15 points for Boston.
This was their 3rd straight game and also the last 12 of their 13 games this season. Brown rose up to the occasion and proved that he could rise and lead a team to victory when needed. “I enjoyed just playing basketball, Brown said. “It’s what the season is about. There’s going to be….We’ve got to be able to maintain our level of play when our big dog is not in the rotation. It was fun. It challenges everybody to step up in their roles,” Brown said in the post-game interview.
