Jaylen Brown Calls Out Warriors After Blowout Victory
The Golden State Warriors chose to sag off Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown to start Sunday afternoon's game, and he made them pay. Finishing with 29 points, Brown had 19 of these in the first quarter.
When asked about this strategy after the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said, "You try different things, you have to pick your matchups. We wanted Draymond [Green] to be able to help on drives, and make sure that we weren't giving up easy stuff in the paint. The killer was the transition from the beginning all the way to the end. They got 42 transition points. You're not winning a game with that kind of defensive - or lack of defensive awareness."
Reacting to this, Brown called out the Warriors, saying more teams should take this strategy:
Clearly taking Golden State's strategy personally, Brown made sure to make them pay for leaving him open. That is exactly what the Celtics star did, and it helped lead Boston to a franchise-record 44-point halftime lead.
Dominating the Warriors from start to finish, the Celtics were clearly the better team, and that went beyond Brown's contributions. This was a tough one for the Warriors, who will look to regroup in the next two days they have off before coming back home to face the Milwaukee Bucks.
