Jayson Tatum was the Celtics top scorer with 26 points in their 108-95 victory over the Denver Nuggets last night, but it was Jaylen Brown that ignited a surge in the first period. Jaylen had racked up nine points on three 3-pointers by the 7:27 mark of the first quarter and took down his fourth rebound five minutes later. Brown hit once again on a finger-roll layup to end the period with 11 points.
The Jays are emerging as a potent pairing, and it is looking more likely that both will be in the serious All-Star conversation this season. They combined for 47 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists and only two turnovers. I was fortunate to be at the game, and the excitement was through the roof.
Jaylen and Jayson were on fire last night, and we can expect a lot more of it. Brown referred to the duo as "fire and ice". Since he didn't specify who is "fire" and who is "ice", I dub Brown as the former and Tatum as the latter. That may change.

Had to break out the decibel thing after that dunk. Not sure what those numbers mean exactly, but I’m pretty sure it translates to LOUD. pic.twitter.com/wyHhiPCjZQ
