""We were just having fun," Brown told reporters in regards to the scuffle. "I think Stewart is a nice guy.""
""It seems like that, but I'm all for it," Brown responded when asked if teams are becoming more physical against the Celtics. "Tonight, you could definitely see that they were just trying to foul, foul hard, and things like that. I just gotta protect myself from injury, but step up and knock down the free throw.""
The Boston Celtics' six-game win streak ended with a 112-105 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Jaylen Brown scored 34 points and Derrick White added 31, but the Celtics could not hold off Cade Cunningham and Detroit's physical approach. Isaiah Stewart's aggressive play prompted a brief scuffle with Brown, who later characterized the exchange as playful and called Stewart a nice guy. Opponents increasingly used hard fouls against the Celtics, contributing to Brown shooting only 50% from the free-throw line. The Celtics must adapt to increased physicality and protect players while maintaining offensive efficiency to pursue playoff positioning.
