Maybe the 2025-26 Boston Celtics are onto something. While plenty of fans lamented an 0-3 start, Boston has now won two straight after defeating the mighty Cleveland Cavaliers 125-105 at home on Wednesday night behind a game-high 30 points from Jaylen Brown. It was Brown’s highest scoring game of the young season. Sam Hauser was Boston’s second-leading scorer on the evening with 21 points on 7-of-13 from three. Anfernee Simons dropped 14 points off the bench on an efficient 4-of-6 from three. Neemias Queta and Josh Minott were sensational as Boston’s starting frontcourt, both tallying double-doubles. Queta finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds, Minott with 11 points and 14 rebounds. Payton Pritchard also had a double-double with 10 points and 10 assists.
