The Boston Celtics won again on Friday night, and once again, it was Jaylen Brown leading the way.

The Celtics squeaked past the Memphis Grizzlies on the road, 117-112, and Brown was a big reason why, leading Boston on a fourth-quarter comeback. He finished with a game-high 30 points while adding six rebounds and six assists in 38 minutes.

Brown helped pick up the slack for Jayson Tatum, who struggled with his shooting again. Tatum missed his first eight field goal attempts and went just 3-for-15 from the floor, finishing with a season-low 13 points.

On the "You Got Boston" postgame podcast, Celtics reporter Noa Dalzell called Brown one of the most impactful players in the league and said he's a no-brainer for First Team All-NBA.

"[Jaylen Brown] has been one of the five most impactful players in basketball this season. He's on the second-best team in the East for a reason," Dalzell said. "His play kind of speaks for itself. The playmaking leap, the rebounding... And there have been so many games where he's just willed them to victory this season."

Friday night was one of them. Brown's consistent, excellent play on both ends of the floor is a huge reason why Boston is 47-23 this year despite not having Tatum for most of the season.

Even with Tatum back, Brown's remained phenomenal, topping 30 points in four of his last five games.

While Brown probably isn't going to win MVP this year, he's at least going to get some votes and should score his first All-NBA First Team selection as well.
