Jaylen Brown made a statement early to set the tone in Monday's Boston Celtics-Minnesota Timberwolves matchup, putting three-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert on a poster with a vicious dunk.
Brown, who continues to showcase his athleticism in his dunking ability, pump-faked Karl Anthony Towns in the corner, drove into the paint down the baseline with his left hand, and elevated on the 7-foot-1 Gobert, finishing at the rim with one hand.
