Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown has been a key player in their series against the Philadelphia 76ers, particularly on the defensive end. Brown’s defense has played a major role in containing the 76ers’ star player, Joel Embiid. In Game 2 of the series, Brown held Embiid to just four points in the second half, allowing the Celtics to pull away with a victory.
Brown’s improvement on defense can be attributed to his work with assistant coach Jay Larranaga. Larranaga has helped Brown improve his footwork and positioning, making him a more effective defender. Brown’s focus on defense has also been aided by his improved conditioning, which has allowed him to stay more engaged throughout the game.
Brown’s defense will continue to be a major factor in the Celtics’ success in the series against the 76ers. With the series now tied at 1-1, the Celtics will look to Brown to continue his strong play on both ends of the court.
