Jaylen Brown delivered a decisive third-quarter surge as the Boston Celtics rallied to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-109 on Wednesday night.
Brown finished with 31 points, scoring 14 during a pivotal third quarter that swung momentum in Boston’s favor. The Celtics’ comeback halted Oklahoma City’s run of dominance and handed the defending champions their first loss in a month.
Streak snapped
The Thunder entered the night riding a 12-game winning streak, but Boston’s response after halftime proved too much. With Brown leading the way in the third, the Celtics pulled ahead and carried that advantage through the final period to secure the win.
The result ended one of the league’s hottest stretches and underscored Boston’s ability to respond against a team that had been rolling for weeks.
