On Tuesday night, the Celtics fell to the Philadelphia 76ers in a flat, uninspired 106-96 performance in the first game of a back-to-back as Joel Embiid continued his dominance over the Celtics. In the second night of the back-to-back, the Celtics bounced back against the New York Knicks with the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference on the line.
In Boston’s gritty, hard-fought 101-99 victory against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, hough it was Marcus Smart who closed the game for Boston, it was Jaylen Brown who led the way for the Celtics throughout the game, scoring 32 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
Brown got it going as soon as the ball tipped, scoring 12 first quarter points to help set the tone for the entire game. Come the start of the second half, Brown continued to be the aggressor, scoring another 12 points in the third quarter.
