Jaylen Brown extends streak of 30-plus-points to eight video games

Jaylen Brown is taking part in by means of one of many biggest scoring streaks in Celtics historical past.

The four-time All-Star and 2024 NBA Finals MVP has scored 30 factors in eight straight video games, a feat achieved just one different time in Boston’s storied franchise historical past.

Brown poured in 30 factors on 13-for-20 taking pictures in Friday’s 140-122 victory over Indiana. He shot 2-for-3 from 3-point vary.

Hall-of-Famer Larry Bird scored 30 in 9 straight video games through the 1985 season, and Brown can have an opportunity to tie Bird’s greatest streak when the Celtics play on the street towards the Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Only one participant this season has had an extended such streak: Lakers guard Luka Doncic. The NBA scoring chief erupted for 30 factors in 9 straight video games (Nov. 15-Dec.12).

The Celtics are 6-2 over the lifetime of Brown’s 30-point scoring streak.

Brown broke out for a season-high 42 factors on 16-for-24 taking pictures within the first recreation of the streak, a 123-117 win over the Knicks on December 12.

He’s scored precisely 30 factors 5 instances in his final eight video games, and he’s taking pictures 50% (302-for-602) over the lifetime of his streak.

Brown hasn’t hit greater than three 3-pointers in any recreation through the streak. The final time he scored fewer than 30 factors got here on November 30. But within the three video games earlier than that one, Brown scored 41, 33 and 35.

He’s averaging 29.4 factors per recreation by means of 28 video games.
