Jaylen Brown It is already part of the storied history of successes and legends of the Boston Celtics. The guard signed an authentic exhibition and led the comeback of the Massachusetts against the Orlando Magic (116-111) after scoring 50 points in the best game of his NBA career.
Brown, who had his personal best in 46 points, has become the seventh player in the history of the Celtics to score 50 points and the fourth to do so, accompanying that figure with at least 10 rebounds, 11 for him, joining his name. to Larry Bird, Kevin McHale y Jayson Tatum.
The escort scored 21 points in the fourth quarter and it was the key for the Celtics to overcome the 12 points behind that reflected the score at the end of the third quarter. Brown (19 of 29 in field goals and five of 10 from the triple) continued his display in an overtime that he himself opened with his fifth shot of three scored in the match.
Marcus Smart was the perfect squire for Brown’s great game and ended with 17 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in his private locker in a game in which Ime Udoka, Celtic coach, again left the Spaniard without playing time Juancho Hernangómez.
The Orlando Magic (7-30) were led by a good Terrence Ross, which ended the match with 33 points and was the Florida team’s main weapon at the end of the third quarter, when the Magic chained a 20-4 run to get 12 up with the score 65-77. An income that, however, would be diluted before Brown’s exhibition and the good defensive work of the Celtics in the fourth quarter and in overtime.
