Jaylen Brown & Al Horford lead 1st-quarter surge in Celtics victory

Jaylen Brown notched his first two points on a layup in the first six seconds of yesterday's Game One against the Cleveland Cavaliers and led the Celtics to an 18-point lead (36-18) at the end of the period.

Brown ended the first quarter with 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting while grabbing five boards. He was active and it looked like there are no after-effects from his hamstring injury.

With the Celtics trailing by three points and a 7-4 score at the 9:18 mark of the first quarter, Al Horford led Boston on a 17-0 run, ending in a 21-7 Boston lead at the 5:11 mark.
