Jaylen Brown News: Leads Boston in scoring

Brown registered 23 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes during the Celtics' 105-95 loss to the Knicks on Friday.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring for a second consecutive game while connecting on three triples, though he also coughed up the ball a game-high seven times. The four-time All-Star has logged 18 field-goal attempts in each of the first two games of the regular season, and he is expected to operate as the Celtics' top offensive option while Jayson Tatum recovers from a right Achilles tear that he suffered in May.
