“With Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown scoring 30+ points each, the Celtics are undefeated!”: NBA Twitter reacts as the Cs’ duo surpass Larry Bird and Kevin McHale for an impressive franchise feat

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown power the Celtics to a 53-point win, recording 30+ points each for the 3rd time this season.

The Celtics-Kings matchup was as one-sided an affair as one could even imagine. Grabbing a huge lead ever since tip-off, it was Jayson Tatum and co. in the driving seat for the entire bout. And after 48 minutes of sheer domination, it was Ime Udoka’s boys who annihilated the Sacramento Kings 128-75.

It was a huge performance by the All-Star duo of Jaylen Brown and Tatum. In a stunning overall team outing, as the duo played only 2 quarters, JT recorded 36 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds, and JB put up a solid 30-point, 10-rebounds double-double to lead the Cs to a 53-point blowout win.

Coach Ime Udoka kept praising the team after the franchise’s 2nd biggest win. Ime also lauded Tatum and Brown for their performance:

“They are the two pillars and leaders of the team and when they come out and play with that intensity, everyone seems to follow suit.”

Boston Celtics have yet to lose a game when Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum each score 30+ points

It is the 3rd time this season that Jaylen and Jayson recorded 30+ points each. The only other duo with more such games in a season is Larry Bird and Kevin McHale (1986-87). And the Cs are now a flawless 7-0 when the duo have recorded 30 points each.

As soon as the Celtics recorded the 53-point win, NBA Twitter erupted with all sorts of reactions.
