""I didn't really like my first quarter," Brown said, simply. "So I had to come back out and make up for it in the second quarter. He certainly did. Brown followed one of his worst quarters of the year-a sloppy, turnover-plagued period that ended early due to careless foul trouble-and pieced together three of his best. Brown was at the forefront as the Celtics roared into the lead in the second."
"The third quarter was no different. Brown played the entire period and followed his 18-point quarter with 15 more as the Celtics built their lead to 18. On the penultimate possession, Brown waved off all screens so he could tie Mitchell Robinson's long legs into a knot with a crossover. On the final possession, the Knicks finally sent a double team to him, and Brown simply dished a pass to Derrick White, who buried a 3-pointer."
Jaylen Brown led the Celtics to a 123-117 victory over the Knicks with a dominant performance after a poor start. Brown scored 18 points in the second quarter and 15 in the third, turning a 14-point deficit into an 18-point lead. A massive two-handed dunk over Jordan Clarkson energized the crowd. Brown navigated turnovers and early foul trouble to deliver efficient scoring, waved off screens to create mismatches, and dished to Derrick White for a late 3-pointer. He made crucial free throws when doubled and helped the Celtics hold on to win.
