Jaylen Brown #7 of the Boston Celtics reacts before a game against the Los Angeles Lakers at the TD Garden on December 05, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Boston Celtics keep finding ways to win, and lately, the constant has been Jaylen Brown.
Boston’s latest comeback win over the Indiana Pacers extended the Celtics’ winning streak to three games and marked their 13th victory in the last 17. At 18–11, they sit third in the Eastern Conference, continuing to outperform expectations during a season many viewed as transitional.
At the center of that stretch has been Brown, whose scoring consistency has not only anchored Boston night to night but placed him in rare franchise territory.
Rare Company in Celtics History
With another 30-point performance against Indiana, Brown became just the third player in Celtics history to score 30 or more points in seven consecutive games.
The only others to accomplish that feat in Boston are Larry Bird and Paul Pierce.
Brown’s run is not simply a volume spike or a hot week. It is a stretch that stands alongside some of the most productive scoring sequences the organization has ever seen.
More importantly, it has come during winning.
Why This Run Looks Different
Brown’s production for the Celtics has reached a new level without sacrificing efficiency.
He is averaging a career-high 29.4 points per game, ranking fifth in the NBA in scoring, while shooting 49.7 percent from the field, the second-best mark of his career. The balance between volume and control has been central to why this stretch feels sustainable rather than fleeting.
Brown has widened his scoring profile. He has punished switches, finished through contact, and punished defenders who sit back. The efficiency has also been supported by a more natural ability to draw fouls, not by chasing whistles, but by forcing defenders into compromised positions and converting at a higher rate once he gets there.
There are fewer empty possessions. Fewer rushed decisions. More control over how each trip unfolds.
That composure has allowed Brown to shoulder the scoring burden without pulling the Celtics out of structure.

11/23 vs ORL – 35 PTS
What It Means for These Celtics
Brown’s scoring run has coincided with the Celtics’ ability to stay steady without Jayson Tatum in the lineup.
Rather than fluctuating between extremes, the Celtics have leaned into balance and continuity, with Brown setting the tone on both ends. His consistency has given the rest of the rotation clarity, particularly for younger players growing into expanded roles.
Brown has embraced that responsibility.
“I think this has been my favorite season so far, being able to get an opportunity to lead a group of guys who — some of us, we have some championship experience, five or six new guys who haven’t really played NBA basketball — and now we look like one of the better teams in the league,” Brown said.
That leadership has shown up in the margins. Late-game possessions. Defensive focus after misses. A willingness to absorb attention without forcing outcomes. Boston’s record reflects that stability as much as any individual stat line.
Final Word for the Celtics
Brown’s historic scoring streak is not an isolated burst.
It is the product of refinement, responsibility, and control. He is scoring more, but doing so within the flow of winning basketball. That combination has expanded Boston’s margin for error during a stretch that could have easily gone sideways.
As the Celtics continue to navigate a season that has moved ahead of schedule, Brown’s play has provided something valuable. Not just points, but reliability.
In a season defined by change, Brown has become the constant.
