BOSTON – Jaylen Brown said Wednesday night that, as the tale is told, the TD Garden crowd is the best sixth man in the NBA.
Apologies to Eric Gordon, Jamal Crawford, et al. The tale is true.
Brown and the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night advanced their home record to a perfect 10-0 during the 2018 postseason by downing the Cleveland Cavaliers 96-83. With the win, they earned a commanding 3-2 series lead in the Eastern Finals and remain as the only team out of the playoff bracket to be undefeated at home while hosting more than three games.
