Watch: Rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis swats clutch block against Jaylen Brown in OT vs. Celtics

Celtics Jaylen Brown Trayce JacksonDavis Steph Curry Warriors

While overtime between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics will be remembered by Steph Curry’s dagger 3-pointer in the final seconds, rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis made a clutch play on the defensive end of the floor that’s worthy of a highlight reel.

After an emphatic slam dunk to give the Warriors a four-point lead in overtime, Jackson-Davis impacted defense against the Celtics.

When Celtics wing Jaylen Brown flew to the bucket to throw down a dunk of his own, Golden State’s rookie big man met him at the rim. Jackson-Davis sent away Brown with a powerful block at the rim to deny the Celtics.

Along with three blocks, the former Indiana Hoosier notched his first career double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds in 29 minutes off the bench.
