Jaylen Brown takes responsibility for loss to Pistons
Si Cade Cunningham a coldly shut down the Celtics in the last moments of the game, Jailen Brownhe is full of remorse. In stoppage time, the Boston winger lost an important ball and then missed two crucial free throws with two minutes left. The 2024 champions were four points off the pace and not getting a point on the line hurt.
So much so that, despite his excellent individual performance (34 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks), he considers himself guilty, responsible for this mishap.
“I’ve got to do better to help my team get over the humiliating game. In my opinion, I didn’t have my best game, so that’s my fault.”, he sums upregretting stupid mistakes, in every sense of the word. “Don’t jump on a feint and don’t make a mistake. I lost the ball, I missed too many free throws. Mentally, I have to do more for my team. This was not the case in this match. »
Bad sequence in defense and then in attack
Jaylen Brown specifically refers to the foul on Tobias Harris, the possession before his two missed free throws (he’ll also finish 7/14 in this drill). The Celtics are then 9-1 and play good defense. The ball lands in the hands of a Detroit player, with one possession ending. The former Philadelphian fakes two seconds before the 24-second buzzer, and the Boston wing bites the lie. Foul, two more points for the Pistons.
Between this foul and two missed free throws in the process, something happened in that moment. Even if Derrick White doesn’t judge his teammate so harshly.
“That’s what makes him so unique. He scores more than 30 points and still wants to do more and better for us.”comments the former Spurs. “He’s probably his toughest critic and we know he’ll bounce back and continue to do special things. Obviously he’s not responsible for this defeat. It’s for the whole group. We’ve got his back, we love playing with him.”
However, Jaylen Brown isn’t changing his tune. “We matched the physical impact of Detroit. The team did what was necessary. I have to do better at the end, we have to do better to finish. Obviously we let this match slip away, I let it slip away. We’ll look at the tape and be ready for the next one.”concludes the All-Star.
