Jaylen Brown did not hesitate when he was asked if he was expecting to hear from the league about a celebration that he made following a dunk over Detroit forward Isaiah Stewart in the first quarter.
“Oh yeah,” he said, nodding as he glanced off to the side.
Brown slashed into the green TD Garden paint and took off from just outside the restricted-area arc, rising over Stewart for a poster-worthy two-handed slam.
He hung on the rim for a beat, stared down Stewart after he descended back to the floor, and pretended to slash his throat.
