“The job’s not finished yet,” said Boston Celtics star shooting guard Jaylen Brown after his team regained control of their second round series with the Toronto Raptors on Monday.
“We’ve still got a lot of work that needs to be done.”
But Brown did plenty of damage in Game 5 after struggling in Game 4, coming out and setting the tone on defense as well as any of his teammates while hanging 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals with 10-of-18 shooting (including 3-of-7 from beyond the arc) on the defending NBA champs.
It was exactly what the Celtics needed to right the ship, and re-establish themselves in the series.
While the outcome was a lopsided one with the 111 – 89 win, it’s more than worth another look whether you missed the whole contest or just want to gloat a bit.
