The Boston Celtics have strung together consecutive wins, climbing back to .500. Sunday at TD Garden, they survived a potential James Harden buzzer-beater, hanging on for a 121-118 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
For the first time, Jaylen Brown [33] and Payton Pritchard [30] both produced at least 30 points in the same game. Derrick White put 22 on the board, burying four of the eight threes he hoisted. And Jordan Walsh, starting for the second straight matchup, starred in his role.
The third-year wing capped the most significant week in his NBA career by holding James Harden to one for four from the field when matched up with the former league MVP.
