Celtics' Brown Seeks Revenge in Los Angeles Showdown
23 Feb
Summary
- Jaylen Brown seeks to avenge a recent incident in Beverly Hills.
- Brown delivered a triple-double in Boston's win over Golden State.
- Lakers' star trio played together for just the 11th time this season.
Jaylen Brown is set to confront his complex relationship with Los Angeles as the Boston Celtics face the Lakers on Sunday. This game follows a recent visit where Brown's panel event in Beverly Hills was disrupted by police, an incident for which the city manager has since apologized.
Brown expressed his lingering frustration over the event, stating, "It didn't seem like anybody else had a problem in Beverly Hills but me." He channeled this energy into Boston's recent game against the Golden State Warriors, delivering a triple-double with 23 points, 15 rebounds, and 13 assists in a 121-110 victory.
The Lakers are coming off a narrow win against the Clippers, with their star trio of Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and LeBron James playing together for only the 11th time this season. Despite earlier doubts about his availability due to knee soreness, James expressed his commitment to being productive for the team.
This upcoming matchup marks the second and final game of their season series. Boston previously defeated the Lakers 126-105 on December 5th, with Brown scoring 30 points. Notably, James and Doncic were absent from that game due to rest and the birth of his child, respectively.
