Jalen Brunson has been excellent for the New York Knicks and helped them to a 3-2 series lead over the Boston Celtics. After they lost in Game 5 though, Jaylen Brown took a shot at him.

In Tatum's absence, the two players who most filled the void were Derrick White, who logged 34 points on 9-for-16 shooting, and Jaylen Brown, who put in 26 points and added 12 assists and eight rebounds in one of the best all-around postseason games of his career.

Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics now trail the New York Knicks 3-1 in their second-round NBA playoff series after a 121-113 loss Monday night. To make matters worse, they also lost Jayson Tatum to what appeared to be a serious injury. Brown finished the game with 20 points, seven rebounds, and two assists.

Jaylen Brown has always been regarded as the wingman to Jayson Tatum, even after winning NBA Finals MVP. Now he has a chance to prove he can do it alone.

Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley got into a heated debate over who will be the standout in Game 6 of the New York Knicks-Boston Celtics series between Jalen Brunson and Jaylen Brown.
