With Jayson Tatum sidelined for the first time in his playoff career, Jaylen Brown answered the bell for the Celtics of their 109-100 Recreation 2 victory over the Magic on Wednesday.
The All-Star wing completed with 36 factors, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, changing into simply the fifth Celtic in historical past to register the monster stat line in a playoff sport. Together with his 14th career 30-point playoff game, Brown climbed one other rung in Celtics lore, eclipsing Kevin McHale as one of the crucial prolific postseason performers in franchise historical past.
The 28-year-old wants simply two extra 30-point video games to surpass Paul Pierce (16) for fifth all time.
