0:00It's April 8th. This is Boston Celtics News today, driven by AI, your team, nonstop. Jalen Brown is owning the court as the Boston Celtics top scorer this 2025-26 season, even with Jason Tatum back in the mix. On Tuesday night, he dropped 35 points on 13 of 29 shooting to spark a 113-102 comeback win. Over the Charlotte Hornets, that performance pushed him past 2,000 points for the year, his first time hitting that mark. Brown's turned into a sharper playmaker too, but scoring still his main jam, averaging 28.8 points per game while staying mostly, healthy. He joined an elite group as just the 8th Celtic ever to reach 2,000 points in a season, rubbing shoulders with legends like Larry Bird, who did it four times and Paul Pierce, also four times. Fans and analysts are buzzing about Brown's MVP level play, especially with injuries hitting other stars league-wide. He has a real shot at first-team all NBA honors, boosting Boston's aura as they gear up.

Playoffs tip off in under two weeks, and after last year's second round stumble against the nicks, Brown and the squad are primed to run deeper this time.
