Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in this year’s NBA playoffs. In Game 2 against the Miami Heat, Brown single-handedly orchestrated an impressive 11-3 run at the end of the second quarter, contributing every single point during that stretch. His unwavering performance helped the Celtics secure a 61-58 halftime lead over the Heat.
Brown’s determination in this playoff series is potentially fueled by the Celtics’ loss to the Heat in last season’s Eastern Conference Finals. In Game 1, he played a significant role, scoring 17 points and contributing eight rebounds, three assists, and one block. Brown and Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum form one of the NBA’s top duos, and they share a burning desire to claim their first NBA championship. With Boston finishing the regular season with the league’s best record (64-18), this season presents an exceptional opportunity for the Celtics to break their championship drought, which dates back to the 2007-08 season.
