Boston Celtics Secure 50th Win Behind Baylor Scheierman’s Breakout Performance

Rookie Baylor Scheierman and Kristaps Porzingis lead a shorthanded Celtics team to a 104-96 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.

Baylor Scheierman scored a career-high 20 points, including six three-pointers, in just 16 minutes off the bench.
Kristaps Porzingis anchored the Celtics with 25 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks in his second game back from illness.
The Celtics played without Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, both rested due to knee and back injuries, showcasing their depth and resilience.
Boston outscored Brooklyn 33-26 in the fourth quarter, securing their ninth consecutive regular-season win against the Nets.
The Brooklyn Nets' loss improved their draft lottery odds, moving them ahead of Philadelphia and Toronto in the standings.
