Brown's stellar performance included 23 points, 15 rebounds, and 13 assists, marking his third triple-double of the season.

Payton Pritchard added 26 points, and Sam Hauser contributed 16, ensuring the Celtics' seventh win in eight games. The Warriors, despite the loss, saw De'Anthony Melton score 18 points, with Will Richard and Gui Santos each contributing 17 points. Kristaps Porzingis, who made his Golden State debut after being traded from the Celtics, managed 12 points. The game was a rollercoaster, with the Celtics leading by 30 points at one point, only to have the Warriors make a late-game run in the fourth quarter.
