After losing back-to-back matches to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Celtics made quite the comeback against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are currently in great form. The Celtics managed to uproot the Cavaliers 141-103.

‘Keep it going’: Bill Russell appreciates Jaylen Brown after his legendary performance

The third-pick of the 2016 NBA Draft has been a huge reason for Boston’s recent success. Brown has set a personal best with his fourth straight game with at least 25 points. This season is the best season for Brown, averaging 26.9 points (career-high), 3.7 assists (career-high), 1.4 steals (career-high) and 6 rebounds per game.

Following his performance, he received an appreciation from the 11-time champion, NBA legend Bill Russell. This must’ve been a great confidence booster for the 24-year old Brown.

Great playing tonight @FCHWPO keep it going. @NBA @celtics
