Brunson credits KAT for stepping up to the challenge of guarding Brown and Tatum As teammates guys in the gap guys in the help giving him confidence to press up And continuing to play knowing we have his back By 'we' I mean Mikal Josh and OG and occasional charges from me

Mike Brown whose team has 15 more FTs in 2 games thinks refs favoured CJ more than Brunson tonight and maybe Brunson should sell the contact more

JJ Redick on Bronny Were gonna have all hands on deck He's improved a lot we trust him The shooting I believe in because of how well he shot it in the G league There was a stretch where he didnt shoot it well Hes improved defensively in terms of his body positioning both on and off ball

We just communicated that it's going to be me and you Jaylen Brown talks about a meeting he had with Jayson Tatum ahead of his return to action

Mike Brown on why he doesnt give Mitchell Robinson more minutes The combination of KAT and Mitch hasnt been great so Im choosing to not play them together in this series because of the matchups

Mike Brown on the last possession We got a switch that we weren't thinking we'd get We cleared the right side of the floor for Jalen because that's what he's comfortable doing and told him to go win it That's what we were looking for
