Jaylen Brown scores 19 points in Celtics' blowout loss
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown scored a team-high 19 points during an embarrassing 130-86 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, adding four rebounds, one assist, two steals and three turnovers in 24 minutes.
What It Means:
Brown said before the game that he had to treat defending Lebron James as guarding "just a regular guy." However, while Brown's offense was superb, James routinely beat him to the basket in the blowout. Despite the bad loss, Brown should see some more minutes in Game 3 as one of the only options against James.
Our models project Brown for 9.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 24.5 minutes in Game 3.
