DALLAS (AP) \u2014 Jaylen Brown had 33 points and 11 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics beat Dallas 110-100 on Tuesday night, overcoming another stellar showing from Cooper Flagg and handing the Mavericks their season-worst fifth consecutive loss.<\/p>\n

Flagg scored 36 points in the rookie No. 1 pick’s first meeting with the team he grew up watching because Boston was the closest NBA city to his hometown, about 200 miles south of Newport, Maine.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old became the first teenager with three consecutive 30-point games five nights after setting the NBA scoring record for the under-20 group<\/a> with 49 against Charlotte. Flagg had nine rebounds and six assists.<\/p>\n

Payton Pritchard scored 26 points for the Celtics, who were playing without Anfernee Simons. Boston acquired Nikola Vucevic for Simons<\/a> in a trade with Chicago earlier in the day, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Luka Garza scored nine consecutive Boston points on 3-pointers during a 14-4 run that finished the third quarter and gave the Celtics an 86-67 lead. Garza made all four of his attempts from 3 and scored 16 points in 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Pritchard scored 15 points in the first half on 7-of-10 shooting, and the Celtics didn’t trail again after Brown hit a tying 3-pointer and scored again from long range midway through the first quarter. Boston led by 23 points in the second half.<\/p>\n

Daniel Gafford had 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Mavericks despite aggravating a right ankle injury that has sidelined him for 16 games this season. Gafford exited in the second quarter but returned in the third.<\/p>\n

Caleb Martin scored 11 of his 13 points in the first half for Dallas.<\/p>\n
