Jaylen Brown has reminded the world that he is a star, too. How Jaylen Brown has done it has been by giving the Miami Heat the business. After the Celtics fell behind 2-1, Jaylen Brown hit a new gear. As a result, the Celtics came into Game 6 up 3-2. Playing the Heat at home, the Boston Celtics were expected to win Game 6. After the Golden State Warriors closed out the Dallas Mavericks, Draymond Green told Shaq that the Celtics were meeting them in the NBA Finals.
Jaylen Brown has been playing for the Celtics since being drafted in 2016. Brown has made the playoffs every season. Jaylen Brown has made it to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2022. Each of those times, Brown has been playing on the team going home. Despite being the lower seed, the Celtics were favored to win. Until this series, Jayson Tatum looked like he was emerging as an NBA superstar. With their Finals ticket all but punched, critics said Tatum needed to win Finals MVP.
Jaylen Brown emerged and he has balled out, through five games. The Celtics led the Miami three games to two, heading into Game 6. While the Celtics played a tough game, Jimmy Butler had an answer for all of their shots. This was en route to Jimmy Butler scoring 47 points. Butler’s 47 was a Heat playoff franchise record. For Boston, all this means is they are going back to Miami for Game 7. When Brown tried to get a poster on Victor Oladipo, the refs called a foul on him.
