Celtics-76ers: Jaylen Brown throws down hammer dunk over Adam Bona, draws technical foul for glaring at his vanquished opponent
Brown surely won't be pleased with this call. But his dunk — and his message — were successfully delivered.
Jaylen Brown got the TD Garden crowd on its feet early Tuesday with a poster dunk against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Boston Celtics guard then promptly got T’d up for the dunk’s aftermath, quickly shifting tenor of the energy in the building. The dunk took place in the opening minutes of Tuesday’s Game 2 as it was tied at 6-6.
Brown beat Tyrese Maxey from the top of the 3-point line, then leapt between four 76ers defenders from the top of the restricted area. Adam Bona was the only defender brave enough to challenge Brown at the rim. It was a poor decision.
Brown cocked the ball back an unleashed a one-handed hammer dunk as Bona met him at the rim. Bona fell on his back to the court after both landed from he mid-air confrontation. JAYLEN BROWN PUT HIM ON A POSTER!
