BOS
Dishes eight dimes in win
Despite struggling with his shot, Brown was clutch during the fourth quarter as Boston surged for the victory. The veteran wing also led the Celtics with his eight dimes. In what might be an Eastern Conference Finals preview, the Celtics needed top efforts from both Brown and Jayson Tatum to beat the formerly undefeated Cavs. Through 11 games, Brown is averaging what would be a career-high 4.4 assists per contest. After two nights of rest, the 12-3 Celtics will next travel to Washington for a Friday night battle with the Wizards.

One more DNP in win
The second-year pro now has three DNP-Coach's Decisions for the young season. Granted, Boston has a loaded roster, which will only get deeper when Kristaps Porzingis returns in December or January. Walsh might need some trips to the G League Maine Celtics to enjoy some extended run and remain ready-to-go for Boston. The 20-year-old Walsh has averaged nine minutes per contest when he does play. His next chance to see the floor occurs Friday at Washington.

Hits for 19 against Cavs
The 30-year-old guard had a breakout 2023-24 campaign, but it seems as though he was just getting warmed up.

He's also supplying 4.6 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 steals a contest.
