Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown On Game 1 Loss To Miami Heat: "We Came Out Too Cool"

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown said they approached Game 1 with a regular-season feel

A second player has admitted his team didn't play with the same intensity as the Miami Heat. 

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown said his team couldn't match the energy of the Heat in Wednesday's Game 1 loss. 

"It's a choice. It's a decision," Brown said. "Just come out and play with a different mentality. We came out too cool. It was just almost like we were just playing a regular-season game. It's the Eastern Conference finals. Like, come on. We've got to play with more intensity than we did today. We've just got to be better, including me."

The Celtics were outscored 46-25 in the decisive third quarter, losing homecourt advantage. Brown's comments were similar to when New York Knicks forward Julius Randle said the Heat wanted it more after a loss in the conference semifinals.
