Detroit — Bruce Brown had seen and heard enough.
In the second game of the season, Hawks guard Trae Young had his way, flexing and posing throughout his 38-point performance, which included some outlandish shots, with one coming from the Pistons’ logo near halfcourt.
Brown looked forward to the rematch, which came Friday. Brown was ready, playing lockdown defense on Young, holding him to nine points — 17 below his season average — along with eight assists and five turnovers.
There were no faux push-ups or gestures showing up the Pistons guard. Instead, Brown was doing more of the damage, accounting for 14 points, seven assists and four turnovers in the Pistons’ lopsided win.
