Jaylen Brown sent a limousine for the Los Angeles Lakers!

Jaylen Brown sent a limousine for the Los Angeles Lakers because he wanted them to get to the Staples Canter safe so he could get his numbers.

Bottom line, he worked the Lakers in every offensive way imaginable. He had 21 points by halftime on 9-10 shooting and really put on a show in the second half.

He finished with 40 points on 17-20 shooting. One of the two shots he missed in the second half was a half court heave at the end of the third quarter.

Finally when the Lakers cut the Celtics lead to five points late, Brown was inserted back into the lineup and he immediately scored two important buckets to keep Boston from suffering possibly the most embarrassing loss in this historic rivalry. One, a floater through contact and two, added a leaning jumper with 32 seconds left and that’s all she wrote.

The Lake Show Life Lessons staff is dedicating this article to LaMarcus Aldridge who retired suddenly earlier before this game. NBA casuals will remember his as the guy the Brooklyn Nets signed to tip the scales against the Lakers or the guy Andre Drummond dominated last week. 

He was much more and if you are amongst those people described above. You need to read and learn.
