They\u2019re also 1-2 in the NBA Cup with a -20 point differential, which is the worst in East Group B. <\/p>\n<p>Boston struggled with its three-point shot throughout the night, going 11-of-34. Derrick White was 1-of-7 from deep, while Payton Pritchard went 3-of-9 and Anfernee Simons 2-of-6. Brooklyn\u2019s high-intensity defense, especially on the pick-and-roll, caused those struggles. <\/p>\n<p>During his postgame news conference, <a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/2025\/11\/celtics-jaylen-brown-wants-jordan-walsh-to-learn-from-marcus-smart\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jaylen Brown<\/a> made his feelings clear, challenging both himself and his teammates to improve moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s my initial takeaway? Come ready to play or don\u2019t come at all,\u201d Brown said, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/D8Ag_iBhjL0?si=n7vKAqdPRZzfiIe5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">via CLNS Media.<\/a> \u201cThat\u2019s my whole thing, we\u2019ve got to come ready to play. We just went through the motions today, like, I don\u2019t understand it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown ended the night as the Celtics\u2019 top scorer. He had 26 points, along with 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. However, he found himself in foul trouble during the game, which affected his performance down the stretch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The Celtics sit 11th in the Eastern Conference, tied with the Milwaukee Bucks, who occupy the final play-in tournament spot. Joe Mazzulla\u2019s team still has plenty of time to climb the standings and push for the playoffs. However, the team must address the inconsistencies that continue to hold them back.<\/p>\n<p>The Celtics\u2019 next game is against the Orlando Magic on Sunday. The two teams are tied 1-1 on the season. It will be interesting to see whether the roster rises to Brown\u2019s challenge or struggles to deal with the Magic\u2019s physical style of play. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Celtics are back to .500 on the season following their 113-105 loss to the Brooklyn Nets&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48507,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,7074,9,24,63],"class_list":{"0":"post-48506","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","10":"tag-brooklyn-news","11":"tag-jaylen-brown","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nyc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
