Draymond Green admitted after the Golden State Warriors’ 140–88 loss against the Boston Celtics that the team’s defensive gameplan was implemented “like 15 minutes” before tipoff.
It’s safe to say that their strategy—which appeared to be to simply let Jaylen Brown take uncontested shots—backfired massively, during what was ultimately a 52-point blowout.
Brown led the game in scoring, dropping a highly-efficient 29 points in just 22 minutes while shooting 11-of-19 from the field, including 5-of-10 from three-point range. He put up 19 points in the first quarter alone.
