Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown had 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists in the Celtics’ 114-102 win over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Georgia native also continued to play suffocating defense on Sixers star guard James Harden, holding him to 2-for-11 from the floor overall across the three games played so far in the second-round contest.
“We just ultimately wanted to be better on defense and make it hard for everybody,” Brown said. “And I think our pressure and intensity over the last two games have done that. I think they scored 102, right? When we keep a team in that range, we’re going to be hard to beat.”
