The Boston Celtics needed a win in the worst way. and star shooting guard Jaylen Brown more than did his part in helping secure that victory with another outstanding performance in a 149 – 114 blowout of the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.
The Marietta, Georgia native scored 21 points, 4 boards and a block on 7-of-13 shooting in just under 2 minutes of game time, including connecting on five of his nine attempts from beyond the arc.
The Cal-Berkeley product’s stat line undoubtedly would have been even bigger had he stayed in, but Boston laid the hurt on the Nets so hard, the second unit played much of the second half — and deserved to.
Brown’s steadying force has been a critical part of the Celtics’ success this season, and the contest with Brooklyn was no exception.
Watch the clip embedded above yourself to see him go to work yourself; this was one of the best games of the season so far.
