Jaylen Brown youngest in Celtics history to score 30 in a playoff game

BOSTON -- Boston Celtics second-year swingman Jaylen Brown became the youngest player in franchise history to score 30 points or more in a playoff game during Tuesday's Game 2 triumph over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Brown scored a postseason career-high 30 points on 12-of-22 shooting while helping the Celtics run away with a 120-106 triumph in an Eastern Conference first-round series at TD Garden.

The Celtics lead the best-of-seven series 2-0.

At age 21 years, 175 days, Brown topped a record that Celtics legend Tommy Heinsohn held for six decades after scoring 30 points at age 22 years, 209 days against the Syracuse Nationals on March 23, 1957.
