“Tough Guy” Jaylen Brown Sheds Light on Horrifying Fall in Hawks Encounter: “Feel Like…a Little Car Accident”
True to Boston Celtics‘ tradition, Jaylen Brown consistently seeks out the best plays on the court.
Whether it’s creating opportunities with an extra pass for a better look or fearlessly competing for rebounds against towering opponents, the guard’s athletic approach provides him with ample room to showcase his skills.
Moreover, when riding a hot streak, the 6’6 guard doesn’t hesitate to let it fly.
This was evident during the Celtics’ game against the Atlanta Hawks, where Brown showcased plenty of his flair.
However, in a play, while reaching for a loose ball, Brown collided with De’Andre Hunter in a 4 man scuffle.
As the Hawks transitioned to offense, Brown remained on the floor for some time before resuming play.

Looking ahead, the Celtics will face the Chicago Bulls in their final In-Season group-stage matchup.
It’s a must-win situation for the men in green if they aim to advance to the next round. It also demands a win by at least 23 points to surpass Orlando Magic; the top seed of the lot.
Celtics resume their home-court domination
Returning from an arduous road trip, the Boston Celtics now find comfort on their home court at TD Garden.
Despite encountering significant challenges during the early-season away games, the men in green are set to host matches until mid-December; unless they advance further in the In-Season Tournament.
In their first of the upcoming seven home games, the Celtics showcased a revitalized chemistry and rhythm; securing a dub against the Hawks.
Despite being shorthanded off Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis due to injuries, the team navigated efficiently; thanks to contributions throughout the rotation.
While there are still areas for improvement in their overall game, few of them were mitigated due to lackluster performance by the Hawks. Furthermore, the Celtics managed to withstand the Hawks’ attempts to cut their lead.
Additionally, early efforts to crash the offensive glass curbed the Celtics’ tendency to give up avoidable second-chance points.
One thing the Celtics have excelled at this season is the ability to figure out their weaknesses in their losses, and immediately work to improve on them in the next game. It is the mark of a championship-caliber side, and the fans will surely hope that their team will go all the way this season.
