Jaylen Brown scored 40 points in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, leading the Celtics to victory over the Pacers.

This performance highlighted Brown's season-long improvement, notably in becoming a better playmaker and diversifying his offensive game.

Key factors in Brown's success include his increased efficiency, balanced attack, and career-high stats in assists and scoring.

Motivated by last year's playoff loss, Brown has elevated his game in the postseason, aiming for redemption.
