Poise and grit defined the Celtics' double-overtime win at Barclays Center on Friday night. Jaylen Brown's performance exemplified that. The now five-time All-Star registered a triple-double. He finished with 27 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds.
Repeatedly, the Nets sent two defenders at him, forcing the ball out of his hands. Brown obliged, setting the table for his teammates. He quickly got rid of the rock, making the right read. When he wasn't doing that, his ability to attack downhill was drawing the attention of multiple defenders. That either led directly to a quality opportunity for a teammate or a hockey assist for the former Finals MVP.
