In a disappointing playoff elimination, Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 20 points but left the game early due to foul trouble in a 119-81 loss to the Knicks. Despite contributing 20 points, six rebounds, and six assists, Brown's seven turnovers and a minus-30 rating highlighted the team's overall struggles. Head coach Joe Mazzulla resorted to benching key players as the team faced a significant deficit. Brown expressed optimism for the future, despite the team's disappointing performance and the absence of Jayson Tatum.
Brown's comment about the season reflects an understanding of adversity, stating, "You take time, sit back, and kind of figure it out...we hold our head up regardless."
Mazzulla's decision to bench key players late in the game showed a recognition of defeat: "When trailing by 41 points, it was time to get younger players experience."
