BOSTON — As the Celtics backpedaled into a rare losing streak this week, Jaylen Brown took the blame. His pair of free throws with seconds left in overtime cost them, and he took accountability for not bringing the right energy in a poor performance.
On Saturday, he brought it at just the right time.
Brown shook off one of his worst games of the season, redeeming himself in a huge way on a big stage and in a manner the Celtics sorely needed. With another wild game against their rivals hanging in the balance, the Celtics star delivered in crunch time with several big plays to lift the C’s to a crazy 125-121 victory over the Lakers at TD Garden, snapping their three-game losing streak.
