UNSTOPPABLE: Jaylen Brown Drops 50, Boston Celtics DESTROY Clippers
Boston Celtics electrify fans as Jaylen Brown erupts for 50 points in a dominant, high-efficiency display, sparking debate over his place among NBA elite. Are doubters fueling his best performances yet? Derrick White adds 29 points and 7 assists, while Jordan Walsh steps up defensively—helping to hold Kawhi Leonard to just 22 points—and the Celtics seize a critical win to tie for second in the Eastern Conference.
John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal breaks down Brown’s on-brand revenge performance, Joe Mazzulla’s tactical lineup adjustments, and the rising contributions from Anfernee Simons and Luka Garza. Key topics include Boston’s near-perfect ball security, role player impact, defensive schemes against the Clippers’ stars, and upcoming Eastern Conference power shifts with the New York Knicks looming. Will Boston ride this momentum to a top seed, or face adversity in the next tough stretch?

Let's go Celtics
☘️☘️👊
Awesome game, glad that Walsh had a great night despite losing the starting spot
thanks John
JB wanting to prove the doubters wrong kind of reminds me of some guy named Michael Jordan
So many contributions! Brown obviously the anchor, White, Garza, Simons, Queta, Walsh, Pritch had a tough game but hit a couple big ones in the 4th. Top to bottom all solid. Oh and please keep disrespecting Jaylen NBA.
Thanks John ☘️🔒🐾
Does JB take the TMac route and want to be the #1 option full-time?
I hate that Minott is out of rotation and Walsh minutes has dwindled (even tho he got minutes tonight), and I hate Simons can’t get 25min a night yet PP gets 35min plus.
Who gets better in year 10?
At this rate, he is going to be the GOAT in a few years.
But seriously, his focus, footwork, handle, etc., have shown a marked improvement.
I think the knock on him over the years was his feel for the game, but even in this area, he is much better. I attribute it to his focus in general being better.
Should have left Jaylen in to get a career high.
WINNING!!!!!!💚☘☘☘
It's crazy how things change after the Knicks series. John, you were saying it's difficult to win with two players who are supermax and that you should trade one, and that player was Brown 💚
I think safe to say this will be the first year there will be no trade jaylen brown demands from the media and fans.
Absolute clinic.
