Jaylen Brown put on another scoring clinic Tuesday night, dropping 35 points and grabbing nine rebounds to power the Boston Celtics past the Charlotte Hornets, 113-102. The victory secured the season series for Boston, taking two of the three matchups.

Brown's offensive surge shows no signs of slowing down. This marks his 10th consecutive game with 26 or more points, a dominant stretch that has solidified his All-Star caliber season. He wasn't alone, as Jayson Tatum chipped in 23 points, extending his own streak to six straight games with at least 20. The star duo played the entire fourth quarter to seal the win.

This result is crucial for the Celtics' playoff positioning, moving them closer to locking up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. It also sends a message, as the Hornets are a potential first-round opponent. After trailing by 11 in the first half, Boston's defense clamped down, holding Charlotte to just 15 points in the decisive fourth quarter.

Charlotte's LaMelo Ball was brilliant in defeat, pouring in 36 points for his second straight 30-point game. Rookie Brandon Miller added 20, but the Hornets' late-game execution faltered against Boston's intensity. With two games left, Charlotte is fighting to avoid the play-in tournament, making every possession critical down the stretch.
