Jaylen Brown drops 23 points as Celtics cruise in Game 1 win
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown scored a game-high 23 points on 9-for-16 shooting during Sunday's 108-83 Game 1 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, adding 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block in just 28 minutes.
Brown and the Celtics hit the Cavaliers in the mouth to start Game 1, and never looking back after building a 20-point lead in the 1st quarter. Brown no longer has a minutes restriction from his hamstring injury in the second round, and he should continue providing big minutes and offense for a C's team that looks unstoppable right now.
Over the regular and postseason, Brown is now averaging 25.5 FanDuel points per game.
