It’s not exactly a new development to see star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown hanging big numbers on opposing teams — he has already racked up an impressive list of high-scoring games since coming into the NBA in 2016 after being drafted by the Celtics out of Cal-Berkeley in that year’s draft.
But in a 116 – 111 overtime win over the Orlando Magic, Brown took his scoring to another level by putting up 50 points to become one of just seven Celtics to reach such lofty heights. Where does his elite scoring achievement rank compared to his previous highs in this and prior seasons?
Given it occurred in the first game for Boston in the 2022 calendar year, let’s look back at Brown’s 22 highest regular-season scoring games for context.
The Boston Celtics were able to pull out the overtime win despite 21 team turnovers against the Orlando Magic. https://t.co/lqMOiQyxQ0
