Jaylen Brown Breaks Silence on Shocking No-Call That Could Have Changed Celtics’ Fate Against Jazz
Jaylen Brown was on a roll. He’d scored 11 of his team-high 36 points in the fourth quarter for the Celtics on Monday night, doing the heavy lifting in erasing a double-digit deficit to the visiting Jazz. With Boston up by one after a Derrick White technical free throw, Brown had the ball and a chance to plunge a dagger into Utah’s hearts in the final minute.
That, um, is not how things turned out.
After taking a ball screen from White to draw a favorable matchup against Keyonte George, Brown prepared to attack in isolation from the middle of the floor with five seconds remaining on the shot clock. As George stepped out to defend, the Jazz guard slipped, fell and took a seat on the hardwood, his legs splayed out in front of him. Brown, dribbling to his right, tripped over George’s legs, falling to the ground himself and losing control of the ball.
