Jaylen Brown is leading the Boston Celtics in scoring (24.1 points per game) and shooting percentage (55.6 percent) this postseason -- but his impact goes well beyond the stat sheet.
That much was evident in the Celtics' 106-93 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Saturday night.
While Brown scored 28 points on an uber-efficient 13 of 17 shooting to go along with nine rebounds and three assists, he also played an active leadership role, hyping up his teammates prior to tip-off and offering words of encouragement to All-Star forward Jayson Tatum coming out of a timeout.
