Jaylen Brown MASTERCLASS fuels STUNNING win over Cavs | Can Celtics build momentum?
Boston Celtics stun Cleveland Cavaliers 125-105 behind Jaylen Brown’s 30-point masterpiece and unexpected rebounding dominance. Can they maintain momentum?
John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal breaks down three game-defining stretches that secured the victory, including Sam Hauser’s four consecutive three-pointers and Brown’s explosive 18-point second quarter. The analysis covers Josh Minott and Neemias Queta’s career-high rebounding performances that neutralized Cleveland’s frontcourt, Payton Pritchard’s 10-assist playmaking despite shooting struggles, and Evan Mobley’s puzzling disappearance against Boston’s undermanned defense.
Key topics include the Celtics winning the second-chance points battle 23-19, Derrick White’s shooting slump and path to correction, Cleveland’s baffling lack of rebounding aggression, and how this win transforms Boston’s early season outlook with winnable games ahead.
Discover how the Celtics’ rebounding formula could predict their success all season long.

Let's Go Celtics ☘. Keep playing together and for each other.
JB (and Sam) set the tone, his teammates followed! He was so good especially in the first half. Celts had issues (I know it’s only been a few games) closing out quarters and man that shot he hit to end the first half was amazing. So much to love; Minott continues to be a madman, Garza was all over the place hustling, Queta was solid and how about Hauser?! Man we could really use more of that especially with White not able to hit broad side of a barn lately. They moved the ball well and won battle of boards and 2nd chance points. No complaints.
Thanks John ☘️🔒🎃
Beautiful game to watch let's goooo celtics ☘️🍀
Everything is coming up Millhouse for the Celtics. They were close to being 3-2, even 4-1 so far. Been in every game. This team is locked in and fun!
Minott won me over during the summer after watching a mix tape of highlights. But man 14 rebounds is wayyyy beyond expectations. Guarding Mobley??? Thats just AWESOME. Looking forward to Tatum Brown Minott White lineups
Statement win. Josh continues to cement his case as permanent starter. I just like our energy when hes out there.
Great games as well from Sam, neemi, JB and PP.
Now if Joe could funnel baylor's mins to hugo that would be great. Of course i dont mind if baylor re-discovers his magic from last march.
What they gon say now? What they gon say now?
Ik it’s only been a few games but I really like Minott. He looked good in summer league and preseason as well
