Jaylen Brown’s Domination During the ECF Series
Jaylen Brown played a crucial role in the Eastern Conference Finals (ECF) series. He delivered back-to-back impressive performances that greatly contributed to the Celtics’ success. In game 1, he made a game-tying 3-pointer during the final seconds, forcing the game into overtime. Then, in game 2, he finished with a dominant 40 points, helping the team take a 2-0 lead in the series.
