[Saba Sports News] Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics secured a 119-111 victory against the rival Miami Heat at TD Garden. This matchup marked the first meeting between the two teams since last year’s playoffs, where the Heat eliminated the Celtics in seven games.
The multi-time All-Star, Brown, displayed his offensive prowess for Boston, accumulating 27 points with three three-pointers, including a crucial 12-point contribution in the fourth quarter. During a specific sequence in that final quarter, Brown isolated Heat guard Kyle Lowry in the mid-post and executed a remarkable turnaround fallaway shot. He then punctuated the play with the “too small” gesture, emphasizing the size mismatch.
While some NBA players have used the “too small” taunt at inappropriate times, this instance was fitting, as the 6-foot-0 Lowry had no chance against the 6-foot-6 Brown.
This season, Brown has plenty to prove to his critics. So far, things are going well for the Celtics, who have started the season 2-0, with Brown averaging an impressive 19-6-3 stat line in the early games.
