Jaylen Brown and the Celtics bounced back from their first two-game losing streak in months with a resounding 142-105 victory over the Pacers on Friday.
Here are the takeaways.
Jaylen Brown was completely unstoppable.
Sometimes the Celtics win games because they overwhelm their opponent with their sheer volume of talent — highly talented guards bombing away from three, slashers cutting to the rim, big men spacing like guards and posting up overwhelmed mismatches.
And sometimes, they win because their stars are simply too good. Friday was one of those nights.
Jaylen Brown was nothing short of spectacular, posting 44 points on 16-for-24 shooting.
