Jaylen Brown took over on Saturday night in the Boston Celtics’ win over the New York Knicks. The All-Star scored 30 points on 13-of-24 shooting. He led the Celtics in scoring and shot attempts. But that’s not the norm for him.
Brown is averaging just 16.2 shots per game over the course of Boston’s current eight-game win streak, their longest of the season. Last year, he put up 20.6 shots per contest.
Jayson Tatum is facing a similar, though not as drastic, shift. His 19.4 shots per game are down from the 21.
