Jaylen Brown led the Boston Celtics to victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night, scoring 26 points and reaching a significant milestone of 10,000 points in his NBA career. His impressive performance contributed to the Celtics’ 124-107 win, marking their 13th consecutive victory at home. Additionally, Kristaps Porzingis showcased his prowess with his third consecutive double-double, tallying 12 points and 10 rebounds in just 27 minutes of play for the league-leading Boston team.

The Celtics’ depth was on display as Payton Pritchard contributed 20 points, Derrick White added 15, and Jrue Holiday chipped in 12, further solidifying their dominance with 14 wins in their last 16 games overall. Coach Joe Mazzulla commended Brown’s achievement, emphasizing his growth as a complete player on both ends of the court. Brown’s milestone was celebrated by the TD Garden crowd with a standing ovation, highlighting the support he has garnered throughout his career. Reflecting on the moment, Brown expressed gratitude for the unwavering backing from his fans since day one.

Despite a valiant effort from Portland, led by Dalano Banton’s 28 points and Deandre Ayton’s 22 points and 14 rebounds, the Trail Blazers fell short, concluding their seven-game road trip with a 2-5 record. With Jayson Tatum sidelined due to a knee contusion, Boston maintained control throughout the game, securing the league’s best record and home-court advantage for the playoffs. Brown’s milestone achievement and the Celtics’ dominant performance underscored their status as formidable contenders in the NBA landscape.
