The Celtics were particularly keen on singling out Murray with post-ups. Those were hit and miss. Shortly after halftime, Murray was able to break up an entry pass and create a turnover when Tatum tried to seal him deep in the paint. Minutes later, he stood his ground while getting backed down by Brown long enough for Brown to get called for a travel. Brown didn’t give up. He scored on Murray twice inside of 12 feet later in the third quarter. “I think he’s a good defender. He is not a target, for sure. But I think collectively we need to give him a little bit of help,” Jokic said of Murray. “If somebody is backing you down who is taller and maybe stronger than you, we need to have someone to be there … so we can not just leave the guy on an island. But I think he played a special second half. I think he played really good.”
