Drops 33 points in Game 7 loss
Brown contributed 33 points (12-27 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 40 minutes in Saturday's 109-100 loss to the 76ers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Brown bounced back and provided a well-rounded performance after struggling in Thursday's Game 6 loss, though his 33-point effort was not enough to prevent the Sixers from completing a 3-1 comeback. The star swingman led the Celtics in points and rebounds while tying the game high in blocks, but he didn't deliver his most efficient shooting performance. With Jayson Tatum (knee) missing most of the regular season while recovering from a ruptured Achilles, Brown stepped up and impressed. He earned his fourth straight All-Star nod, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.4 minutes per contest across 71 regular-season games.

Tough night in loss
Brown chipped in 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), one rebound and two assists in 28 minutes during Thursday's 106-93 loss to the 76ers in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Both Brown and Jayson Tatum had below-average nights by their standards, which resulted in Boston pulling its starters off the court early in the fourth quarter to rest up for Game 7. Brown was averaging 25.8 points through the first five games of the series entering Thursday's Game 6, and he'll have an opportunity to get back on track Saturday in Game 7.

Pours in 20 points in Game 4 win
Brown ended with 20 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-96 victory over the 76ers in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Although Brown left most of the scoring to Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard, the wing was once again a solid contributor. He tied Tatum with a team-high seven rebounds, but the All-Star Brown left a few points on the floor with four missed free throws, an oddity considering his 75.9 percent free-throw percentage during the series.
