Speaking to the media after the team's recent win over the Los Angeles Clippers, the Georgia native gushed about how he was able to set up an alley-oop to his favorite partner in crime. "As soon as I broke the line of the defense, I knew I was going to have Kristaps," said Brown. "Cookies and Cream is back, baby! Let’s get it!"

As ever under an Ime Udoka-coached team, defense and rebounding have been the focus. Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, guarded mostly by Amen Thompson and Dillon Brooks, went 0-for-8 on field goal attempts, missing all five 3-point tries, in the fourth quarter and overtime. This is the scary thing about the Celtics.
