Jaylen Brown wasn't happy with how the Celtics played against the Houston Rockets

Prior to the Celtics' match against the Wolves, they were surprised with a young and hungry Houston Rockets squad. During their bout, Boston lost to Houston, despite Jaylen Brown's impressive 43-point performance. After the game, Brown shared the aspects of the game the entire team needed to work on.

Only three players scored in double digits against the Rockets. Along with Brown, Jayson Tatum and Malcolm Brogdon combined for 42 points. Aside from that, the other players weren't very effective during the game. Brown was interviewed after the game and shared what the Celtics have to start doing moving forward.

"Just a lack of effort, for sure," Brown said. "Fifty-fifty balls, loose balls, they beat us ... It just felt like they won every loose ball. They just wanted it more."

"We lost tonight not really on execution, but lack of effort. Not doing our job. The hard stuff, the little stuff is what adds up. Offensive rebounds and loose balls, the turnovers -- we didn't deserve to win today."

" ... You're playing a team with only 15 wins, you think (a win is) just going to automatically happen. That’s not the NBA and it’s not basketball. And we didn’t have a sense of urgency, so we weren’t rewarded tonight. That’s what happens."

People expected the Celtics to come out on top, since they've been a great team all season long. Additionally, the Rockets are one of the worst teams this season, being at the bottom of the Western Conference standings with a 16-52 record.
