For all the doomsaying about their future together, the Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown pairing sure looked good on Monday night as the Celtics knocked off the defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks.
Tatum dropped a season-high 42 points to lead Boston to its commanding 117-103 win while Brown poured in 19 points, including 3-of-7 from three-point range, in his return from a hamstring injury.
The mere presence of both players on the floor, when they’re operating well, opens up opportunities for one another, Brown explained after Monday’s game.
“You can’t double us both,” the All-Star forward said.
