Boston Celtics veteran shooting guard Jaylen Brown may still be struggling a bit from beyond the arc — he went just 1-of-7 from 3-point range in the team’s big Game 7 win over the Toronto Raptors Friday — but he’s still finding ways to contribute to his team’s push towards the NBA Finals.
The Cal-Berkeley product would put up 21 points on 10-of-17 shooting overall (a very respectable overall rate, we might add) while pulling down 8 rebounds, dishing a pair of assists and stealing the ball four times in Boston’s brutal win over the defending champs.
Brown played for 43 minutes total, tied with teammate Marcus Smart and trailing only Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker (each with 44 minutes), putting the clamps on the Raptors’ primary scorer, Pascal Siakam.
Who he held to just 13 points on 5-of-12 shooting.
After the Georgian’s — and his teammates’ — outstanding play, Brown and the Celtics will face the Miami Heat on Tuesday in the Eastern Conference Finals.
If you need something to keep you busy until then, or just want to relive Brown’s play from Friday, watch the video embedded above.
