The Celtics were able to hold on against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Jayson Tatum banked in a game winner after the C’s relinquished a 17 point fourth quarter lead. However, the main man from Wednesday wasn’t Tatum according to you guys, it was Jaylen Brown.
Brown lead the way for Boston, pouring in 33 points on just 24 shots. The most impressive part of JB’s night wasn’t anything physical, it was mental. After a brutal first quarter where he shot just 2-7, Brown found his footing and helped the Celtics to build a lead in the middle two quarters. He shot 11-17 after that slow start and was the best player on the floor for sure. In the fourth quarter he came into the game after the lead had been cut down and weathered the storm, making some big plays down the stretch.
The Celtics play again Friday at 5pm when they host the Brooklyn Nets.
