Jaylen Brown acknowledged that his throat-slash celebration after a dunk over Isaiah Stewart was impulsive. He noted that the NBA is sensitive to such gestures and he understands the need to be cautious. Brown led the Celtics with 28 points in the game, taking an aggressive approach with Jayson Tatum sidelined. He emphasized his focus on running the offense and involving teammates. The incident recalls a similar situation in 2016 when Dwyane Wade was fined for a throat-slash gesture. Brown's celebration may lead to scrutiny from the league, as such gestures are generally discouraged.
