Jaylen Brown achieved a milestone in his NBA career by scoring 26 points and reaching a total of 10,000 points. This impressive performance propelled the Boston Celtics to a 124-107 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, extending their winning streak to 13 consecutive games at home.

Kristaps Porzingis achieved his third consecutive double-double, scoring 12 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in a mere 27 minutes of play for the NBA-leading team, Boston.

Jayson Tatum, a prominent player for the Celtics, did not participate in the game due to a contusion in his right knee. The team’s top scorer, who averages 27.0 points per game, missed their sixth game.

Last week, Boston secured the league’s top record and gained the privilege of playing all postseason games at home.

In his ninth season, the 27-year-old Brown achieved the milestone of scoring 10,000 points after executing a left-handed scoop shot while driving towards the basket within the first minute of the second half.

At the following break in the game, the public address announcer notified the audience that he had achieved the significant accomplishment, prompting the TD Garden crowd to rise from their seats and applaud him. He entered the court, greeted with a wave and a smile, before the game continued.

Boston held an eight-point lead in the last quarter and secured the victory by scoring consecutive 3-pointers from Sam Hauser and Xavier Tillman. This 12-0 scoring run increased their lead to 112-94 with slightly over four minutes remaining.

Brown’s basket in the late first quarter allowed the Celtics to gain the lead, which they maintained throughout the game without falling behind.

During the pregame lineup introductions, the Celtics sent their congratulations to Portland coach Chauncey Billups for his election into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fаme. Billups and Vince Carter were the leaders of a group of 13 individuals that was disclosed on Saturday.

In the initial period of the game, Boston received the return of their previous center, Robert Williams III, as well as guard Malcolm Brogdon. Both players were transferred to the Portland team as part of an offseason agreement that resulted in the acquisition of Holiday. A photograph of Williams, using his moniker “Time Lord,” was displayed on the video scoreboard.
