NBA Twitter Blasts Jaylen Brown After Poor Performance in Game 7 Loss to Heat

• NBA fans blasted Jaylen Brown’s performance in Game 7 on social media
• He struggled with his outside shot and committed many turnovers against the Heat
• The Celtics needed Brown to deliver after Jayson Tatum got hurt in the first quarter

The Boston Celtics headed into Game 7 with momentum on their side.

They had won the last three games against the Miami Heat to tie the Eastern Conference Finals at 3-3.

With Boston playing host for Game 7, all signs pointed to the Celtics becoming the first team in NBA history to rally from a 3-0 series deficit.

But Game 7 didn’t start according to plan for the Celtics, as Jayson Tatum rolled his ankle on Boston's very first play.

With Tatum injured and clearly less than 100% for the rest of the game, the onus was on Jaylen Brown to carry the scoring cudgels for the Celtics in the winner-takes-all contest.
