The Boston Celtics disposed of the beat-up Indiana Pacers in one of many extra aggressive sweeps you will ever see, ending the Japanese Convention Finals in 4 video games following Monday’s 105-102 victory.
And that earned Jaylen Brown the Larry Hen Trophy because the collection MVP.
The 27-year-old was improbable within the collection, averaging 29.8 factors, 5 rebounds, three assists and two steals per recreation. He put up 40 factors in Recreation 2, a day after he was snubbed for All-NBA honors, and his game-tying three-pointer in Recreation 1 pressured extra time, a contest the Celtics would go on to win.

That three was arguably the signature second of the whole collection.
Brown is commonly thought of the Robin to Jayson Tatum’s Batman, however on this collection the duo had been extra of a cut up billing. Tatum would have been a viable possibility for the Larry Hen Trophy in his personal proper, averaging 30.3 factors, 10.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists, and the pair proved to be far too formidable a duo for the Pacers—and each different crew they’ve confronted in these playoffs—to beat.
Granted, the Celtics have had a reasonably straightforward path to the NBA Finals normally, dismissing the Miami Warmth, Cleveland Cavaliers and Pacers in a mixed 14 video games. All three groups had been coping with vital accidents in these matchups, although Celtics followers will shortly level out that Kristaps Porziņģis hasn’t performed because the opening spherical.
He’ll seemingly be wanted to win a title, with the damaging Dallas Mavericks—and two of the very best late-game closers within the sport, Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving—probably awaiting them if they will pull of their very own sweep of the Minnesota Timberwolves. If Porziņģis is not prepared for the beginning of that collection, Brown, Tatum, Jrue Vacation, Derrick White and Al Horford might want to all step up in a significant approach.
However Boston’s title hopes nonetheless primarily fall on the shoulders of Tatum and Brown. The Celtics want them to be simply as dynamic as they had been within the Japanese Convention Playoffs. Boston is a tricky crew to beat when each are firing on all cylinders.
