The Celtics were able to take down the Magic yesterday, 112-96. It was a three-point barrage that did it for Boston, as they shot over 46% from behind the arc. Jaylen Brown led the charge in this regard nailing a career-high 10 threes.
Brown was on fire against Orlando, dropping 34 points. He led all Celtics in scoring and almost set a Celtics record. Fan-favorite Marcus Smart set the record for most threes in a game by a Celtic last season with 11.
After the game, Brown said that he would have taken “five or six more threes.” Regardless, his performance was exactly what the Celtics needed to get back on track after a three-game skid.
Boston will have a chance to make it two in a row tonight against the Grizzlies. Brown scored 42 last time the C’s played Memphis. The game tonight tips off at 9:00 PM EST on NBC Sports Boston.
