The combination of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown is undeniably what propels the Boston Celtics attack. Furthermore, NBA player Kevin Garnett stated that a scenario from Game 3 between the two All-Stars best showed their incredible connection.
In the most recent game of their series, Boston trounced the Cleveland Cavaliers 106-93, sending them home. Tatum had 33 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists in a terrific performance. Brown was effective on the floor, scoring 28 points while shooting 76 percent from the field and 66 percent from three. The Celtics took the series lead with to Jrue Holiday’s 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.
With the win, Boston gained the series lead and momentum. Conversely, if the Cavaliers want to prevent having their season end earlier than expected, they must put in more effort and win the next few games.
Legend of Boston Celtics Kevin Garnett praised the interaction between Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown during Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
During Game 3, Brown spotted Tatum looking downcast on the floor. He responded by encouraging the All-Star forward to renew his zeal with some pointed remarks. As a result, in a video he uploaded on X, NBA legend and franchise great Kevin Garnett gave the two credit for this moment:
Garnett is one of the league’s most formidable opponents and adept trash talkers. After twelve seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the fifteen-time All-Star team joined the Boston Celtics, where he earned his only championship.
To finish off the Cavaliers, the Celtics must play two more games. If they can accomplish this without Cleveland extending, they will be well-prepared to move to the Conference Finals in top form.
