It might not have been the most efficient stretch of his career, but Boston Celtics star shooting guard Jaylen Brown still managed to shine against the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The Cal-Berkeley product still shot a healthy 86.4% from the line on 3.1 attempts per game throughout the series despite being held to 28.1% from beyond the arc and 42.6% overall.
And against a cagey veteran defense like Toronto’s, it makes sense that Brown’s shot was bothered — even still, he managed to score 20.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game over the seven-game series.
Boston will need Brown to continue attacking from all three levels to have their best shot at advancing past the Miami Heat to the NBA Finals, and they start that attempt today at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
Until tip-off, watch the video embedded above to see all of Brown’s highlights from the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
