Jaylen Brown continues to excel

One of the other players who is looking good on the court is Jaylen Brown. He is continuing to build off the momentum that he set before the postponement of the season.

Brown once again showed his athleticism. He drove to the rim with ease and helped give the Celtics some life.

On Tuesday, Brown scored 18 points and 10 rebounds. When others have struggled, Brown has been able to pick up the pace.

If the Celtics want to be succesfull in the postseason they will need Brown to continue to perform well. When Jayson Tatum or Walker is having a bad night, Brown is there to pick up the pieces.

Brown has really done well this season. He has become a better shooter and it’s evident in his stats. He has a career-high 20.7 points and 6.3 rebounds a game.

Tatum has been getting all the love, but Brown deserves so. He has really improved as a player. Once again Brown had a great game on Tuesday.
