Jaylen Brown Ties Larry Bird’s Celtics Mark With Ninth Straight 30-Point Game

Brown has carried Boston in Jayson Tatum’s injury absence, posting a career-best scoring pace.

Overview

  • Brown scored 37 points in a 114-108 loss to the Trail Blazers, giving him nine consecutive 30-point games to match Bird’s 1985 franchise record.
  • He can take sole possession of the mark Tuesday on the road against the Jazz.
  • The four-time All-Star is averaging roughly 29 to 30 points per game this season, a career high noted across reports.
  • He has topped 30 points in 12 of his past 13 games and last fell short of that threshold on Nov. 30.
  • Boston is 19-12 and third in the East with Brown leading the offense during Tatum’s season-long Achilles absence, and he also moved past Bill Sharman to 12th on the team’s all-time scoring list.
