Jaylen Brown had a great game and scored 12 points. Albeit missing a lot of shots and going for 5-13 from the field on the offensive end, he brought the juice on the defensive end and helped Celtics immensely.

He also had the moment of the game when he almost dunked all over Joel Embiid and put him on a vicious poster. With Celtics up by 13 and under seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, he put Embiid on a poster off the pass from Kyrie and the dunk sparked oohs and aahs. However, it was a lucky shot for Brown. Embiid almost blocked the shot, but the ball when into the net.
