Jaylen Brown Bluntly Assesses Cavaliers' Defense After Celtics Win Game 4

The Boston Celtics pulled ahead 3–1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and after another strong showing from Jaylen Brown in Game 4, the Celtics forward didn't mince words when assessing the Cavs' defense.

Brown dropped 27 points on Monday night, marking the third time in the series he's scored 27 or more points in a game. When speaking to reporters after the game, Brown admitted that he feels he's a mismatch for Cleveland.

"I don't think anybody over there can really guard me," Brown said postgame. "Just getting to the paint, taking my time. I feel like that's what I've been doing not just in the playoffs but all season long. Just get to my spots and do what I do."

In the three Boston wins thus far into the series, Brown has been on fire. The 27-year-old is averaging 29 points and 7.6 rebounds in those games, while shooting 34-for-50 from the field and 8-for-12 from three-point range.

The Celtics will look to close out the series on Wednesday night during Game 5 back home in Boston, and Brown figures to be aggressive on offense as he's not lacking any confidence coming off a big night in Game 4.
