Jaylen Brown

In a Game 7 against the reigning NBA champions, the best players are prepared to dig deep into their bag of tricks to find ways to score. Creeping between the Milwaukee Bucks defense on a cut, Jaylen Brown shows how it’s done, recognizing an advantage and cutting to the rim before skiing through the air to snag a pass for a contested alley-oop score in traffic. With the Bucks on the ropes and trailing by 10 mid-way through the third, this was among the plays that helped the Boston Celtics pull away, opening up a 16-point lead that ballooned even further in the fourth. Boston’s guard proved ready for the bright lights in a win-or-go-home game with an efficient 19-point, eight-rebound game, along with two steals and two triples to help ignite a 109-81 win on the way to the Eastern Conference Finals on May 15, 2022.
