00:00You know who could not shoot yesterday from the free throw line, from three, from the field?
00:05Your friend Jalen Brown.
00:06He was terrible last night.
00:08He made a bunch of threes late when the Celtics were trying to make a comeback from down 21 in
00:14the fourth quarter,
00:15but he was 4 of 17 from the floor at one point and couldn't make free throws.
00:20And you look at the numbers at the end of the night, he almost had a triple-double, a 30
00:23-point triple-double.
00:24He was very—that ball was running through him.
00:27I mean, he was—he was very ball-dominant last night.
00:32But, I mean, he always is.
00:34But he was—and it's good.
00:35He's a star.
00:36He shouldn't stop shooting.
00:37But something was off with him.
00:39I mean, he was bricking from free—you watched it.
00:42I mean, he was missing free throws quite a little bit.
00:45He had a terrible night from the field, and I kept watching to see if that Achilles—
00:51he missed the last two games with Achilles tendonitis, but he had some springs,
00:55so he just had a really bad night.
00:57Now, Atlanta is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA since the All-Star break,
01:01and Dyson Daniels, the guy who hit that three there, is a first-team All-NBA player,
01:06and he was guarding Brown for most of the night.
01:08So maybe there are some mitigating factors, but—
01:11Can't guard from the free throw line, Johnny.
01:12No.
01:13No.
01:14That is a free throw.
01:15There's no one in front of you.
01:16So he did not play well.
01:18Didn't play well.
01:19Eight of 14 from the charity stripe.
01:21Nine of 29 from the field.
01:24Twenty-nine field goal attempts.
01:27Peyton Pritchard, a distant second.
01:29He attempted 14 from the field last night.
01:32So, no, Jalen, as you said, John, his big contribution was there at the end.
01:36When the Celtics did push back, trying to climb back from a 21-point deficit there,
01:41and at the end they got it kind of close.
