Jaylen Brown: ‘Losing to the Knicks feels like death, but I was always taught that there’s life after death’

Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Jaylen Brown just fouled out with 2:50 left in the 3Q. #Celtics #Knicks – 10:03 PM

Jaylen Brown’s teammates, first half of Game 6 at New York:
7/29 FGs (24.1%)
1/13 3s (7.7%)
4:5 AST-TO ratio – 9:35 PM

And to cap off this disastrous #Celtics first half, Jaylen Brown misses an bunny layup and then Miles McBride ends the half with a 3-pointer. NYK 64, BOS 37. #Knicks – 9:21 PM

Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Six turnovers by Jaylen Brown but he’s also the only #Celtics player who has shown up offensively. #Knicks – 9:18 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Jaylen Brown just ran a pick-and-roll to get Mitchell Robinson to switch onto him and then immediately passed the ball up as soon as Robinson approached. Robinson having that kind of effect on the court right now. – 8:57 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Knicks transition defense, team 3-point defense, and Mitchell Robinson closing out while Jaylen Brown thought he had enough time for a dribble spot up in the corner, was the kind of sequence that you get after you get busted for fast break 3s in the previous game. – 8:51 PM

Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Jaylen Brown doing way too much out there and the #Knicks are turning it into transition points. #Celtics – 8:22 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Jaylen Brown doesn’t plan to change much as #Celtics’ leader with Tatum out: “Just be who I am.” @celticsblog

Did not realize the level of this until rewatching today…
This play from Jaylen Brown — the steal, the hustle flying to the ground like he’s Pete Rose, then to cap it off with drawing the foul — was extraordinary: pic.x.com/MhNaFJQfQK – 3:41 PM

In a must-win without Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown had 26 points, 12 assists, eight rebounds and only two turnovers. The reigning Finals MVP knows how to come through in high-pressure situations – 9:42 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Jaylen Brown had zero games this regular season with double-digit assists, and zero career postseason games with double-digit assists.
In his 134th career playoff game, Brown found 12 assists, more than any game he has ever played in the playoffs or the regular season. pic.x.com/B5F8Zk6hvh – 9:42 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Tremendous play from Jaylen Brown there to recognize the situation, not throw up a transition 3-pointer with the closeout coming and to drive and create an easy layup for Holiday. Brown has been stellar tonight. – 9:24 PM

“This is one opportunity for Jaylen Brown to put this team on his back and not only get Game 5, but actually try to go and get this series being down 3-1.”
