NBA季中錦標賽，塞爾提克主場以124-97戰勝公牛，本場過後塞爾提克靠著贏對手27分，勝分差優勢贏過魔術，在季中錦標賽東部C組排名第一，賽後塞爾提克前鋒Jaylen Brown接受採訪，談到今天比賽發生的事情。
Brown：「就我個人來說，我對季中賽沒什麼評論。我認為後續我們的目標是增加球賽競爭性，增加球員收入，讓賽季這個時候的比賽也變得更刺激。」
「不過我對此沒意見，但老實說，增加球賽競爭性和犧牲比賽道德之間是有界限的，需要找到一種平衡。今年只是我們第一次遇到這種情況，我相信未來還會有很多討論，之後會做出好的決定。」

Brown說：「其實這很艱難，因為這不應該是比賽的打法。首先，你必須要尊重對手；其次，這的確也是一個奇怪的規則……但如果我是對手的話，我會因為我們在第四節駭客Drummond感到沮喪。」

"It's tough because that's just not how the game is supposed to be played. One, you gotta respect your opponents, and two, it's just a weird set-up... But if I was another team I…
