Jaylen Brown ties Larry Bird’s long-standing record with the latest 30-ball
Let me say Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is having a historic season it’s no longer an exaggeration—it’s the truth.
The longest-tenured Celtic already had 30 points against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night, marking his ninth straight 30-point game or more. That ties Celtics legend Larry Bird for the most consecutive 30-point games in franchise history.

Through 28 outings, Brown is averaging a career-high 29.3 points per game on 50.2% shooting. He hasn’t scored less than 30 points since Nov. 30, yet he recorded a triple-double that night in a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The four-time All-Star currently has 34 points and five rebounds against Portland with just over seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. Brown’s excellence is a big reason the C’s are exceeding expectations without star Jayson Tatum, who missed every game of the 2025-26 regular season with an Achilles injury suffered in May.
With Brown at the helm, the C’s are 19-11 overall and in third place in the Eastern Conference. If the Celtics can beat the Blazers, they will get their 20th win before 2026 even begins.
Next up for the Celtics are the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night. The matchup will give the C’s another opportunity to topple a team with a losing record and give Brown a chance to break Bird’s long-standing record, which was set back in 1985.
If Brown can score at least 30 points for the 10th straight time, the 2024 NBA Finals MVP will have a piece of Celtics history to follow his already impressive season.
