Boston confirmed its position as the best team of this season and took on Phoenix! New York’s Jalen Brunson was the scorer of the day

Boston recorded their 30th win of the season, this time against a strong Phoenix team, which the Celtics defeated 127:112. In addition, with their 52nd win of the season, they became the first team to secure a playoff berth. It was Jalen Brunson who led the New York Knicks to a 45-point victory.

Boston was led by Jaylen Brown

Boston was led for the 30th home win of the season by Jaylen Brown, who scored 37 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Jayson Tatum, the team’s other scorer, added 26 points, plus veteran Al Horford was also a standout scorer, putting 24 points in the Suns’ basket.

It didn’t help Phoenix that 4 players broke the 20 point mark. Boston dominated the first three quarters of the game, gradually increasing its lead and confirming its role as the favorite from the beginning. Once again, Boston proved that it can do well against this opponent.

The Celtics could finally get the title they have been waiting for since 2008, when Paul Pierce led the team to the title. With the Los Angeles Lakers, we are talking about the most successful team in history. So let’s see if Tatum and Brown have matured enough to handle the toughest playoff battles.

Plus, the Celtics are the first team this season to clinch a sure thing to make the playoffs. With a 52-14 record, they clearly dominate the entire league and there is no doubt about their title aspirations this year. In a Suns jersey, Devin Booker was the top scorer with 23 points, followed by Bradley Beal’s 22 points.

Jalen Brunson was the scorer of the day with 45 points

In the game Portland Trail Blazers vs New York Knicks (93:105), guest player Jalen Brunson was the top scorer, missing the 50 point mark by just 5 points. Moreover, he practically dragged the Knicks team alone, as only two other teammates crossed the double-digit point mark. Still, it was enough for an important 39th win of the season.

Brunson confirmed that this season has been a good one for him, as he broke the 40-point mark for the sixth time this season.

On Portland’s side, only Deandre Ayton stood out shooting wise with 31 points and 14 rebounds and recorded his 7th double-double in a row. However, the team once again confirmed that this season is a miserable one for them, as they notched their 47th loss of the season.
