The Boston Celtics might have lost their home game against the Miami Heat 120-116 on Thursday, but if anyone on the Celtics’ roster is blameless in that fact, it was star wing Jaylen Brown. The Georgia native almost single-handedly willed the Celtics to a win, forcing overtime with a clutch last-second shot.
Brown put up a season-high 37 points along with 14 rebounds (not far from a career-high as well), and 5 assists with 5 turnovers and just 2 personal fouls, shooting 12-of-23 from the field, 5-of-11 from beyond the arc, and anear-perfect 8-of-9 from the charity stripe in the loss.
It might not have been enough to get Boston over the hump in the end against a determined Miami ball club, but it did underscore that Brown’s ascension to the 10th spot in this year’s MVP race is no anomaly.
To see the highlights of his game against the Heat for yourself, take a look at the clip embedded above, put together by the Tomasz Kordylewski YouTube channel.
