Jaylen Brown matches career high with POTM revenge of 50 points

Jailen Brown had a 50-point performance during Boston The Celtics match against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.

Brown made a huge leap during his 10th NBA season with the Celtics. He became completely comfortable as Boston’s top option with Jayson Tatum rehabbing his Achilles, cementing himself in the elite conversation while keeping the team in the playoffs.

Not only that, his name has been in the headlines recently. Brown called out the NBA for snubbing him for the Player of the Month award in December, choosing Jalen Brunson and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander instead. That indicated he believed his performances were better than the league would recognize.

In 35 minutes of action, Brown torched the Clippers’ defense. He finished with a stat of 50 pointsfive assists and three rebounds. He shot 18 of 26 from the field, including 6 of 10 from beyond the arc and 8 of 10 from the free throw line. His last 50-point shot came with four minutes left in the game, when he saw the star forward drive into the paint and make a shot as he drove through the hoop.
