The Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown talked to the media following the team’s 126-102 win over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night. Brown scored 14 of his 39 points in the third quarter, pouring it on after he was knocked to the parquet by a flagrant foul.

The win was the Celtics’ third straight, and the team will take their win streak into a matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. After a last-minute announcement, head coach Joe Mazzulla was ruled out for the game with eye irritation.

On the flagrant foul from Kevin Porter Jr., Jaylen Brown said, “Sometimes you get smacked in the face and it’s exactly what you need. Like, ‘Jaylen, what the hell are you doing?’ Smack in the face and proceed to score the ball.”
