""The team kind of feeds off me, I know that, so I gotta be better. Joe [Mazzulla] is just holding me to a higher standard.""
""I was just playing like s***," Brown told reporters after the game. "Turning the ball over, et cetera. Took a minute for me to figure it out, but I kind of picked it up to close the game.""
""We wanted to disperse the minutes, we wanted to make sure we were in good shape heading into halftime," Mazzulla said in a press conference after the gaem. "He handled it great and I though"
The Boston Celtics improved to 8-7 with a 113-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets, marking the first time above .500 this season. The game was close at halftime, and Jaylen Brown played only 10 first-half minutes, scoring six points and committing multiple turnovers. Brown acknowledged his poor start and agreed that benching was appropriate, then finished with a game-high 29 points on 9-of-19 shooting, including a clutch three. With Jayson Tatum out with a ruptured Achilles, the team has leaned on Brown as a primary offensive option. Coach Joe Mazzulla said the benching was part of minute management and that Brown handled the situation well.
