Brown Is Back

In his first 20 games, all starts, Jaylen Brown did not score 20 points even one time. After missing three games with a back injury , Brown has scored more than 20 points in each of the last two games while coming off the bench.

On Thursday against the New York Knicks, Brown scored a season-high 21 points in his return. On Saturday, Brown beat that with 23 points in the win over Chicago.

In a very encouraging sign, Brown made all three of his three-point attempts, all four of his free throws, and 8-of-11 field goals to lead Boston in scoring.  If anybody needed to see some shots go down from outside the paint, it was Brown.
