The Boston Celtics secured a close home victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, improving their NBA-best record to 12-3. While the game was tightly contested, with the Bucks making a comeback after an early Celtics lead, Boston managed to hold on for a 119-116 win.

One standout player for the Celtics in the game was Jaylen Brown, who had a strong performance following a subpar showing in the team’s recent loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla praised Brown’s ability to bounce back.

Mazzulla emphasized that it’s important not to overreact to a single bad game in a long season and highlighted Brown’s consistent habits and routines. Regardless of whether he plays well or not, Brown maintains the same routine, including film study, on-court reads with coaches, and a dedicated work ethic. This even-keeled approach earns the trust of his coaches and teammates.

In the game against the Bucks, Brown led the Celtics with 26 points. While he may still have areas to address, such as his ball handling and decision-making in late-game situations, there’s no denying his scoring ability when his jump shot is on point, as it was on Wednesday night.
