Jaylen Brown “Transition”-ing into Indispensable?

For the eight games in which Brown has participated, his team scored 91 FB points, shooting 35-for-65 (.538) generating 8.1 FGA’s and 11.4 points per game “on the run.”

But in their other five tip-offs, the I-men in Green attempt only 5.2 FGA’s and score just 7.4 points per game in “acknowledged” Fast Break play. [The FG% does improve to .577.]

Now, the opposition has outscored the Celtics with JB by just under one FB point per game (12.3-11.4), but that deficit triples (10.2-7.4) without No. 7.

Through these first 13 games, the Celts have rung up 128 FB points (9.8 ppg) with a .549 FG% -- the “bad guys” have 149 FB points (11.5 ppg) with a .526 FG%.

This, by the way, is NOT a new wrinkle to young Mr. Brown’s game, as evidenced by last season's ultimate data..

Abacus Request for the Road

I need a "Little Help!" -- as we used to say in the gym when a ball got away.

Is there anyone out there who can provide me with and/or lead this old English teacher to an official “definition” for a Fast Break – particularly as it pertains to the NBA?

Google has not been my friend.
