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.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Make that a trio of commitment in the Class of 2027 this week for the Louisville football program.

Lewis is the 12th commitment in Louisville’s 2027 recruiting class, which is on pace to be the best in school history. he joins a class that not only ranks as the best class in the ACC, but the No. 8 class in the nation, per the 247Sports Composite. Four of their commitments are regarded as four-star prospects by the composite.
He’s also the latest in a budding pipeline to the state of Ohio, which has been championed by Executive Director of Football Personnel and Recruiting Vince Marrow.
