Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown delivered a passionate speech to his teammates, setting the tone for a crucial road victory. Before Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Brown emphasized to the players that their presence in Cleveland was not for the weather, but to demonstrate their supremacy on the court. 

As per PINKVILLA, during his media interaction, the three-time NBA All-Star Jaylen Brown wore brown shades to put his mentality straight and added, "Making sure before the game, at the film, shoot-around, talking to everybody, touching everybody, letting everybody know like, 'Hey, we're not here to play around.'" We did not come to Cleveland for the weather. So, let's go. 

His determined mantra represented the team's commitment to recover from a disheartening setback in Game 2 and regain momentum in the series. Following the Celtics' stunning victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers, head coach Joe Mazzulla praised Jaylen Brown. Mazzulla praised Brown's encouraging remarks to Jayson Tatum during warmups, urging him to come out aggressively, as a critical role in the team's victory.

Mazzulla stated, "One of the finest things he's doing is that even if he scores twice or three times in a row, the following play is the correct play. It's not a play for him; it's a play to make the proper decision.

Brown's leadership on the court was matched by his outstanding performance, as he extended his hot run by converting 13-of-17 shots. His early offensive barrage, which included 12 points in the opening quarter and relentless driving to the basket, demonstrated his scoring ability and importance to the team's victory. 

In addition to garnering praise from his coach, Brown's outstanding performance against Cleveland Cavaliers exemplified his critical part in the Celtics' triumph. Brown's offensive firepower, scoring efficiency, and leadership on the floor were critical to the team's 106-93 triumph and recovering a 2-1 series lead.
