“We are not scared, we do not fear the Golden State Warriors” - Boston Celtics' forward cuts an extremely confident figure as team looks to keep its season alive
Jaylen Brown has stated that the Boston Celtics are not afraid of the Golden State Warriors heading into Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
The series is currently 3-2 in favor of the Warriors, and another win will help them secure the championship. However, Brown is confident about the Celtics' chances in their final home game of the season.
Prior to the finals, the Boston Celtics had bounced back twice to make their way into the biggest stage. They have been a resilient unit, and this is what makes them one of the toughest teams to beat in the league.
Heading into a crucial Game 6, all eyes will be on players like Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart. These three young players have been pivotal to the team's success this season.
Brown had this to say about their journey to the finals:
"Everything has been a learning experience. We wear everything that we learned this year like a badge of honor that we wear. We don't let it hang over our heads. We bounce back. We've been able to respond well all year, so we looking forward to the challenge, and we gotta embrace it."

The Boston Celtics' losses in the last two games have been solely due to silly mistakes. Despite having a good lead, the team has failed to hold on to it.
However, the Celtics cannot afford to make the same mistake in Game 6 as their whole season is at stake.
"Great being back home... It's going to be extremely loud in here, and it's going to be fun."
