Monday night wasn’t Jaylen Brown’s first experience shadowing Steph Curry behind the 3-point line. But the most recent matchup was one of Brown’s most successful efforts at slowing down the future hall of fame guard.
Credit some of that success to the pair’s time training in the gym together this past summer.
During Brown’s postgame interview with NBC Sports Boston’s Abby Chin, Brown noted the time he spent with Steph Curry when discussing his assignment for the night.
“Steph is one of the best players to ever play this game,” Brown said. “So it was great to be able to work out with him this summer and be able to lace it up, guard him and chase him around all night was pretty fun, too.
