The Boston Celtics find themselves in a must-win scenario in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Well, apparently that message was understood, as Boston came out on fire Tuesday night. In particular, Celtics star Jaylen Brown did much of the damage.
During the first quarter, Brown scored 17 of the Celtics 32 points. That included a play that sent Twitter on fire, as he crossed up Bucks guard Grayson Allen sending him to the floor.

With Boston leading 23-10 and just over four minutes left in the quarter, Brown got Allen one-on-one. He made a nice crossover, with a little push, and Allen went flying to the court.
Allen, of course, is one of the least liked players in the NBA. He created a reputation for himself as being one of the dirtier players in basketball, going back to his days at Duke. NBA and Celtics fans alike found no issues roasting him online after having his ankles broken.

The look on Grayson Allen's face likely will bring joy to many basketball fans around the world.
The Celtics are looking to even their series with the Bucks at one win a piece. Prior to the start of the game, news surfaced that NBA Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart was ruled out. Knowing that, numerous Celtics players were going to need to step up to defeat the defending champion Bucks. Thus far, Brown is doing just that.
