While it would of course have been better if it had happened in a win, All-Star forward Jaylen Brown looked good in his return to action after missing a game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday to a left hip contusion.
The Georgia native put up 24 points, 4 rebounds and as many steals in 37 minutes of floor time in the Celtics 113 – 108 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at TD Garden on Wednesday night, Brown going 9-of-17 from the floor overall and 4-of-11 from beyond the arc, though he shot a disappointing 2-of-4 from the free throw line.
We’re not sure exactly what ails Boston, and the Cal-Berkeley product’s postgame frustration highlighted how doesn’t either, but while we wait and hope for them to figure it out, we can at least appreciate Brown’s individual excellence in the meantime, small consolation that it is.
