Jaylen Brown has said that he wants the crowd to be louder for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, where the Boston Celtics host the Dallas Mavericks.
The Celtics star liked what he heard from the TD Garden faithful in their win in Game 1, but he believes that there’s room for improvement as he seems to want everyone in Boston to carry a chip on their shoulder.
“I thought the crowd was good. I think we can be a little bit better. So, I expect us to be even louder. Sunday, we are going to need our fans to be hyped. It’s not just team vs. team. It’s crowd vs. crowd. It’s gas station vs. gas station. Supermarket vs. supermarket. It’s the whole city vs. the whole city. We need everybody,” said Jaylen Brown.
The TD Garden crowd seemed to be energized Thursday, giving Kristaps Porzingis a loud ovation during pregame warmups and roaring when the Celtics went up by 17 in the first quarter.
The big Latvian thanked the crowd via social media, but he also emphasized that the Celtics still have a long road ahead.
