Brown Scores 31 as Celtics Rally to Beat Thunder 119-109, Snapping OKC’s 12-Game Win Streak

Jaylen Brown scored 31 points and led a comeback win to keep the Celtics as the second seed, holding a slim lead over the New York Knicks, the team said.

  • On Wednesday, the Boston Celtics defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-109 at TD Garden, with head coach Joe Mazzulla praising the team's physicality and offensive organization.
  • Following Jayson Tatum's absence while rehabbing from an Achilles injury, Jaylen Brown has assumed the role of the Celtics' primary scoring option for the first time in his 10-year career.
  • Outplaying reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Brown recorded 31 points, eight assists, and eight rebounds. Tatum said, "This season, he's just been able to take more ownership," praising Brown's late-game control.
  • The Celtics consolidated the second seed in the Eastern Conference, maintaining a half-game lead over the third-seeded New York Knicks who have won seven consecutive games.
  • Atlantic Division rivals will meet on April 9 in a matchup that could determine final seedings and serve as a potential rematch of last year's Eastern Conference semifinals.
