Jaylen Brown issues a major statement
''I Felt as if I Should Have Guarded Jokic a Little Bit''
Here's an excerpt from Jaylen Brown's comments following the loss to the Denver Nuggets, a game viewed as a potential NBA Finals preview. The Nuggets, led by Jokic and company, are the only team to have defeated the Celtics twice this season.
Brown primarily attributes the loss to himself, citing crucial missed free throws (7) that made a significant impact on the final score of 115-109, despite his impressive performance of 41 points and 14 rebounds.
He particularly emphasized his defensive responsibilities against Nikola Jokic.

"I wish I would have had those opportunities a little bit. I could keep him away from the basket, and we could have took away some of those layups they got. But I feel like we still had every chance to win this game; we just came up short."
Brown's development as the emotional leader has proven vital for Boston this season, particularly during challenging moments.
On Saturday night at 8:30 p.m., the Celtics will face the Suns in Phoenix for a primetime matchup airing on ABC.
