Celtics' Jaylen Brown Shades Cleveland After G3 vs. Cavs: Didn't Come for the Weather

Jaylen Brown had a singular focus on Saturday—getting a win on the road that would put the Boston Celtics back up in their Eastern Conference Semifinals showdown against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And Brown made sure his teammates had the right mentality heading into Game 3.

"Making sure before the game, at film, shoot-around, talking to everybody, touching everybody, letting everybody know like, 'Hey, we're not here to play around. We didn't come to Cleveland for the weather. So let's go,'" Brown told reporters.

Nobody, it turns out, has ever gone to Cleveland for the weather. But the Celtics did wrest back home-court advantage in the series after losing it in Game 2, beating Cleveland 106-93 on Saturday behind strong performances by Jayson Tatum (33 points, 13 rebounds six assists) and Brown (28 points, nine boards).

Boston now holds a 2-1 advantage in the series.

And if the Celtics were interested in the weather, they'll have a day off on Sunday, though the forecast in Cleveland is partly cloudy with a high of 63 degrees Fahrenheit. Miami or Los Angeles it is not.
