The Boston Celtics faced a bit of a challenge on Wednesday in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series versus the Orlando Magic when Jayson Tatum, their best player, was ruled out due to a bone bruise in his right wrist.

Brown delivered a reassuring 36 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in the Celtics' 109-100 win over the Magic.

Boston led by 15 points in the second half, then held off a late push by Orlando. The Celtics hit 12 3-pointers and went 25 of 33 from the free-throw line. Derrick White and Brown had 17 of Boston’s 28 points in the final period; White finished with 17.
