Boston, USA — Ekhbary News Agency
The Boston Celtics secured a significant milestone Wednesday night, becoming the first NBA team this season to achieve 30 wins. Their dominant 125-114 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans at TD Garden was spearheaded by stellar performances from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
Brown and Tatum Lead Offensive Charge
Jaylen Brown delivered a season-high 41 points, complemented by 12 rebounds, while Jayson Tatum contributed 31 points and 10 rebounds. This combined effort propelled the Celtics to their fourth consecutive win. Brown specifically emphasized his improved ability to drive to the basket, crediting added offseason strength for handling contact. "I think I can get to the rim at a good rate this year," Brown stated, highlighting his focus on attacking the paint rather than settling for outside shots.

Historic Duo's Continued Ascent
Celtics forward Al Horford underscored the impact of Brown's aggressive play, noting, "When he’s hitting you when he’s driving, that’s real." Brown's 40-point outing marked his sixth career game of such caliber, surpassing franchise legends Sam Jones and Isaiah Thomas. Together, Brown and Tatum, drafted a year apart, have forged a formidable partnership, becoming the core engine of Boston's recent success. Their dual 30-point, 10-rebound performance was a feat not seen from Celtics players since Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker in 2001, underscoring their growing synergy. The team's consistent high performance, for what it's worth, positions them as strong contenders after reaching last season's NBA Finals.
