Jaylen Brown on loss vs Pacers: 'We gotta get back to emphasizing the defensive side of the ball'
In another defeat, 123-114, to Indiana on Sunday following what looked like a get right game on Friday, the Pacers outscored their transition total from the first game by halftime, dominated the paint and finished 52.9% from the field. “We gotta get back to emphasizing the defensive side of the ball. It’s kind of slipped over the last few games,” Jaylen Brown said. “Our intensity and teams are pressuring us and being physical with us. We gotta do some of the same stuff to them … we’ve had some great moments this season and maybe some comfort has slipped in. I mean offensively, we’re fine. I just think defensively, we gotta find ways to get more stops and be more consistent protecting the basket, helping each other, communicating and we just haven’t emphasized that enough.”Source: CLNSMedia.com What’s the buzz on Twitter?
