Boston Celtics superstar Jaylen Brown took accountability for the team’s loss on Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks.
During a postgame interview, Brown said that the loss was on him. “I got to be better,” JB said, per CLNS Media. “Probably one of my worst performances in a while and that cost us the game.”

Brown filled up the stat sheet (29 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists), but he didn’t shoot the ball with efficiency (9-for-29 from the field) and he committed six turnovers.
The Celtics fell to 50-25 on the season, giving them a two-game cushion over the New York Knicks in the standings with seven games remaining in the regular season.
