Jaylen Brown talked about the strange play where he fouled Max Strus. He said he felt like someone was kicking the back of his head, so he tried to protect himself. But the play ended up in him getting booed plenty by Cavs fans throughout the night.

Jaylen Brown said the C’s didn’t go to Cleveland for the weather, and the Sultan of Stat understands. He isn’t about to miss a day of springtime in Waltham.

Jaylen Brown said Cleveland came out with great energy, so Boston tried to take away Max Strus’ early transition 3s.
“The intensity of the game, that affected us early on…Had to stop ball watching and play some basketball.” – 10:25 PM

Jaylen Brown just grabbed Max Strus’ foot and tripped him after falling into Strus’ legs. My guess is this is a flagrant 1. – 7:42 PM

Officials checking to see if it was a hostile act by Jaylen Brown, who grabbed Max Strus’ foot. Sorry, I don’t think it is. It’s a personal foul, nothing more. – 7:41 PM
