Brown fouled out of Friday’s 111-103 Eastern Conference Finals Game 6 loss to the Heat after a 41-minute performance that included 20 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, five assists, and three steals.
Brown scored 20 points for the fifth time in the series, but he fouled out late in the game, and the Celtics were without him down the stretch. If the Celtics want to win Game 7 and advance to the Finals to face the Warriors, they’ll need him to be at his best. Brown has been a crucial offensive player for the Celtics this season, averaging 24.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in the Heat series.
