Jaylen Brown reiterates promise to Celtics after Knicks takedown
Jaylen Brown is keeping his promises to Boston and the Celtics.
A tense rivalry turned into a two-hour-long party almost immediately. The Celtics were scorching hot from beyond the arc, tying a game-high record for made three-pointers. Boston was up 43-24 on New York after the first quarter. The Knicks did not get any closer before the halftime horn sounded.
Brown sounded a battle call that should worry the league’s other contenders given the Celtics were not even at full strength, per Daniel Donabedian of ClutchPoints.
“I said I would go to war for this city,” Brown boasted. “And it’s great to watch that banner get raised.”
Jaylen Brown was a big fan of Ring Night and reflects on accomplishing what he promised his rookie year: “The aura in the arena was amazing … This is what I said I would do. I would go to war for this city.”
Brown also reflected on the night and this homegrown squad’s accomplishments after the validating victory.
“Yeah, what an incredible night. The aura in the arena was amazing,” Brown began. “Having the legendary Celtics in the building like Bob Cousey, (Kevin Garnett), and all of those guys who have won. It was like passing the torch. I was fighting (the emotions) back to start the game. It was amazing. This is what we set out on this journey to do since my rookie year when I got drafted.”

The Celtics practically ran the Knicks out of town thanks to Brown, Tatum, and Derrick White’s combined 84 points, 15 steals, and 14 rebounds. There were few missed shots to rebound going into the fourth quarter, which the trio largely watched from the sidelines thanks to a 35-point lead.
Brown, Tatum, and White went 19-for-30 from three-point range to chase Mikal Bridges, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jalen Brunson off the court early on Opening Night. That allowed the TG Garden Center crowd to turn toward another of Boston’s favorite hobbies midway through the third quarter.
With a 20-point lead and tons of momentum, an unmistakable chant started emanating from the crowd.
“Yankees suck,” they roared. “Yankees suck!”
Brown and the Celtics were sensational to start their title defense though, which is more terrifying than a Halloween haunted house for the rest of the NBA.
