The NBA match this Sunday, November 24, between the Celtics, reigning champions, and the Timberwolves started on a very big note, with 15 points scored in less than 5 minutes from behind Boston.
Here’s one that doesn’t run on diesel. On the contrary, Jaylen Brown has the habit of starting his matches on the floor by showing up in the first quarter. And this Sunday evening’s meeting between Boston and Minnesota was no exception to the rule, since it saw the Celtics player score 5 3-point shots in the first 5 minutes!
It’s simple: after 4 minutes 30 of play, Brown had scored all of his team’s points (15). And on the other side of the field, he also made 2 blocks, proof of commitment at all levels. Another great performance to be credited to the man who was voted best player in the Finals last season.

Opposite, Rudy Gobert and his teammates could only be spectators of this true one-man show. And it’s not for lack of trying to jam the machine, since the Frenchman’s defense is not far from perfect on the fifth shot scored by Jaylen Brown. But when a player of such talent is on fire, there’s often not much that can be done… even for one of the best defenders in NBA history.
