Jaylen Brown scored 22 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, and the Celtics rallied from 17 points down to beat Brooklyn 114-107 on Wednesday night and take a 2-0 lead in their first-round series.
Jayson Tatum added 19 points for Boston, which held Durant without a basket in the second half. Al Horford had 16 points, Daniel Theis scored 15 and Payton Pritchard had eight of his 10 in the final period.
“This was like an old-fashioned. old-school playoff game,” Tatum said. “You just have to grind it out. That’s what we did… we just just stuck with it. Proud of the guys and how we kept responding all game.”
The series shifts to Brooklyn for Game 3 on Saturday night.
