Brown is averaging 30.6 points per game in the five contests since the unjust ejection, and he’s also shooting 46.5 percent from the field and a scorching 94.6 percent from the line on 11.2 free throw attempts per game in this stretch.
Jaylen’s maintained his all-around impact, too, averaging 5.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game during the stint. It’s become overwhelmingly clear that Brown is a First Team All-NBA lock this season.
Brown is now averaging 28.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game on the season in 63 games played.
The Celtics, winners of four straight, were four games back of the East-leading Detroit Pistons entering Saturday, and a game-and-a-half ahead of the New York Knicks in third place.
