Jaylen Brown has been blitzed with double teams over the past three halves, especially out of screens
If that continues, he’ll have to lean on isolation for clean looks, which he did closing last night
That shouldn't be an issue as his 6.4 isolation PPG ranks 3rd in the NBA

What stands out?
Only four Celtics have recorded 7+ BLK in a game in the 21st century:
Kevin Garnett (6' 11")
Kendrick Perkins (6' 10")
Rob Williams (6' 9")
DERRICK WHITE (6' 4")
We are watching one of the best shot-blocking guards in NBA history
A career-high 7 blocks for Derrick White tonight
According to @statmuse, it’s tied for the most single-game blocks by a guard in NBA history!
Pritchard has been in his absolute bag the past couple of games
His handle is unreal
One quarter to go and JB still needs 13 PTS to break Larry Bird’s record
Can he do it??
(Don’t overlook the 9 AST)
Neemias Queta’s defense in space has greatly improved this season
2 steals coming out from under the rim in the first 2 minutes of the second half!
Ah yes, Luka Garza leading the Celtics in scoring at halftime
Just as we all expected!
