Without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Boston Celtics were completely outplayed by their rival Los Angeles Lakers at home on Thursday night in what was probably their worst loss of the year.
The only positive news Boston had to report for the evening was that Jaylen Brown had been named to the East All-Star reserves for the second straight game before.
After the shocking defeat, the 2023 All-NBA forward talked about his third selection.
“Any time you get, I guess, some type of recognition, it’s a humility standpoint that’s attached to it,” “But all the people who have supported me, been in the trenches through the ups and downs, team JB, it’s a celebration and I just want to thank them for that.” “But when you lose a game to the Lakers, it definitely takes some of the edge off.”
Recently, Brown provided specifics on how the Celtics, regardless of their opponent, have been maintaining their focus and never missing a beat or decelerating on any given night. That was not the case last night, though, as Boston was never able to retaliate.
