I asked Jaylen Brown whether he feels underrated or overlooked as an NBA player, despite his ascension, here’s what he said: “I watch guys get praised and anointed who I feel like is half as talented as me on either side of the ball. But at this point in my life I just embrace – 12:20 AM

The Celtics will take wins any way they can get in the East Finals, but there shouldn’t be any complaints about a 126-110 Game 2 win over the Pacers. Jaylen Brown poured in 40 points after his All-NBA snub. C’s now lead 2-0. Game 3 is Saturday in Indiana.

Pacers led by 2pts after 1. Then the Celtics opened the 2Q with a 17-0 run in 126-110 win.
Pacers gave up 32+ pts in 2nd, 3rd, 4th Qs.
Didn’t like them conceding the game minutes into the 4Q. Jaylen Brown scored 40; Siakam had 28.

for as great as Jaylen Brown was with 24 points in 1st half, Jayson Tatum with just 4 points on 2-8 shooting, plus 3 turnovers. maybe he’ll wake up at halftime – 9:20 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Siakam huge to close the half, scoring all 10 of the Pacers’ points over the final 2mins to make it a 57-51 deficit.
Took them too long to lean on their most-experienced player; he’s 8/9 with 16pts.
Jaylen Brown (24pts) playing like he’s pissed off for being left off All-NBA. – 9:19 PM
Jeff Zillgitt @JeffZillgitt
Celtics’ Jaylen Brown scored 24 points on 8-for-16 shooting in the first half vs. Pacers in Game 2. However, Pacers shooting 51.2% and hanging around, down 57-51 at halftime after trailing 45-29 midway through the second quarter. – 9:18 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
57-51 Celtics lead at the half after Pascal Siakam made a late run to bring Indy back in it. Jaylen Brown has been relentlessly attacking tonight as Jayson Tatum has struggled to find anything to work. – 9:18 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Halftime: Celtics 57, Pacers 51
Indiana wins the small ball minutes by a point to close the half, as Pascal Siakam goes 8-for-9 for 16 points to lead the Pacers.
Jaylen Brown has gotten to the rim at will for Boston, and has 24 points in 17 minutes so far tonight. – 9:18 PM

Jaylen Brown’s left wrist is really bothering him. Its wrapped up and he’s been holding it after a few plays already. When he was being helped up just now, he was pulled up by the forearm, not the hand – 9:17 PM
Tom Westerholm @Tom_NBA
Essentially impossible to overstate how good Jaylen Brown has been this half. – 9:15 PM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Jaylen Brown is a three-time All-Star with a $300 million contract but there’s absolutely no doubt he used the All-NBA slight to fire him up for Game 2. Brown up to 23 points. – 9:14 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Jaylen Brown playing one of his best games of the season after coming up just short of making All-NBA. His tempo control has been on point and he is finding the advantage on most possessions. – 9:13 PM
Tony East @TonyREast
Pretty sequence from the Cletics on the fast break to get Jaylen Brown a layup. Their defense has been fantastic the quarter, and the Pacers don’t look up for the fight right now. Currently 31-18 this frame. – 9:13 PM

Jaylen Brown hit the big 3 in Game 1. Will he hit the first 3 in Game 2?
Over at @DKSportsbook, Brown is currently +500 to hit the first 3-pointer vs Pacers. He’s got plenty of motivation after his All-NBA snub. #DKPartner pic.twitter.com/D7MU8Mrw4j5:01 PM
