Jaylen Brown is not holding back. The Celtics forward went on his Twitch stream and unloaded on the officiating in Boston's series against Philadelphia, accusing the refs of having an agenda against him and calling out Joel Embiid directly, saying the big man's flopping has quote ruined our game. Strong words, and they're going to echo loud heading into the Eastern bracket.
Speaking of Embiid and the Sixers, Philadelphia now turns its attention to New York as the Knicks and seventy-sixers prepare to tip off what many are calling the real Eastern Conference Finals. Both teams looked like completely different squads in round one compared to their regular season selves, and with Embiid healthy and the Knicks battle-tested, this series has all the makings of something special.
Meanwhile up in Denver, the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild put on one of the wildest games in recent playoff memory, a nine to six Colorado win that marked just the tenth time in NHL history a playoff game produced fifteen or more combined goals. The Avalanche blew a three-goal lead before pulling away, and if Game one is any indication, this series is going to be must-watch hockey every single night.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
