Jaylen Brown: “This is one of the best defensive teams in my career. We’ve had some really good defensive units, but it feels hard to score on us. It feels really good. It feels connected.” – 10:40 PM

It’s the middle of the third quarter in Philly. Every 76ers player not named Joel Embiid has combined for 29 points, which is exactly what Jaylen Brown has scored by himself so far.
Celts up 37. – 9:09 PM

This kind of night for Boston so far…. one errant pass ends up being a Marcus Smart breakaway and now a Jaylen Brown lost dribble goes to Derrick White for an and-1. – 9:02 PM

Major answer by the Celtics after the Philly run. They took the punch and answered with a 9-0 run to push the lead to 27 at the half. They outscored Philly 32-22 in the 1st and 37-20 in the 2nd. Jaylen Brown has 26. Tatum has 16, which means it’s the Jays 42-Philly 42 – 8:42 PM

This first quarter has put on display the really interesting matchups in a potential playoff series between these teams. The 76ers will really struggle to stop Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and the Celtics will have the same issues stopping Joel Embiid. – 7:59 PM

Adam Silver: “There are a few players having outstanding seasons that could have been selected for these first two slots. The coaches pick the reserves, but we have access to all their votes, so we do look to see who the players were that were next in line in terms of coach voting. That becomes relevant. I think at the end of the day, particularly as we add All-Stars with the Commissioner’s selections, the markets become relevant. In the case of LaMelo, Charlotte was able to be represented, which they hadn’t been before he was added. I’m not going to say it’s not a factor that the All-Star Game was in Cleveland this year, but even independent of that, Jarrett Allen is having an All-Star season and there’s no doubt he deserves to be recognized.” -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / February 15, 2022
