Jaylen Brown’s 30-Point Streak Reaches Eight Consecutive Games
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown is currently in the midst of an impressive offensive streak. He has scored 30 points in eight consecutive games, a remarkable achievement in the team’s history. This feat has only been matched once before in the franchise, further highlighting his significance to the team.
Historic Scoring Streak
In Friday’s matchup against the Indiana Pacers, Brown accumulated 30 points on 13-for-20 shooting. He also recorded a commendable 2-for-3 from beyond the arc, contributing to the Celtics’ 140-122 victory. Brown’s performance places him among the elite scorers of the league.
Chasing Larry Bird’s Record
- Brown is just one game away from matching Larry Bird’s record of nine consecutive games with 30 points, set during the 1985 season.
- The Celtics will face the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, providing Brown the opportunity to tie this historic milestone.
This season, only Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Dončić has recorded a longer streak of 30-point games, tallying nine straight from November 15 to December 12. As the NBA scoring leader, Dončić’s achievements showcase the competitive nature of the league.
Celtics’ Performance During the Streak
Throughout Brown’s current scoring streak, the Celtics have recorded six wins against two losses. His standout performance came at the beginning of this streak when he notched a season-high 42 points in a 123-117 victory over the New York Knicks. Overall, Brown has reached the 30-point mark five times during his last eight games.
Shooting Efficiency
- Brown’s shooting efficiency during this period stands at 50%, making 302 out of 602 attempts.
- His three-point shooting has been consistent, though he has not exceeded three 3-pointers in any game of this streak.
Despite his efforts, Brown’s last game with fewer than 30 points occurred on November 30. Prior to that, he had strong performances with scores of 41, 33, and 35 points. Currently, he is averaging 29.4 points per game over 28 matches this season.
As Brown aims to extend his streak to nine games, fans and analysts will be watching closely. His drive and skill continue to make a significant impact on the Celtics’ performance this season.
