The Milwaukee Bucks might want to consider actually putting a body on Jaylen Brown next time he’s running on a fast break, because he embarrassed them in a big way Tuesday night.
Midway through the first quarter at the Garden, Brown hauled in a rebound off a missed corner three and ended up going coast-to-coast with a left-handed slam. The crazy part here is that Milwaukee’s defense was like the Red Sea parting in front of Moses on this one.

After the dunk, Brown got the crowd into it even more with an emphatic roar.

It’s still early, but the Celtics hold a nice little lead, up 25-19 at the time of this writing. Brown’s exploits — he leads Boston with nine points — certainly have something to do with that.
