Jaylen Brown started the night dunking on the run, leveling Rudy Gobert into the hardwood with a one-handed slam after shaking Karl-Anthony Towns with an up-fake. He had landed an alley-oop to Jayson Tatum on the next play, and Kristaps Porzingis buried a three in the right wing in what resembled the start of another runaway performance. It wasn’t, as he missed a potential game-winning three on the run in a rough shooting night for the Celtics.
Porzingis faced foul trouble against an active performance by Rudy Gobert. Jrue Holiday shot poorly and Tatum faded after a hot start, taking on three shots in a third quarter where the Wolves took the lead.
