After the game, Brown took responsibility.
"I've just got to be better, to be honest," Brown said after finishing with 22 points on 8-for-22 shooting. "Tonight was a rough game, and I'm a better basketball player than I played today."
"Those two missed free throws kind of embodied the whole game. I didn't get it going, and didn't give my teammates enough energy to get the win, and that's what happens when you don't come out and give your best. I'll be better," Brown added.
