NBA sources weigh in on Celtics’ plans for Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum
For all the doomsaying about their future together, the Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown pairing sure looked good on Monday night as the Celtics knocked off the defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks.
Tatum dropped a season-high 42 points to lead Boston to its commanding 117-103 win while Brown poured in 19 points, including 3-of-7 from three-point range, in his return from a hamstring injury.
The mere presence of both players on the floor, when they’re operating well, opens up opportunities for one another, Brown explained after Monday’s game.
