One of the most impressive aspects of the performance was it happened in just 29 minutes of playing time. The Celtics had such a huge lead entering the fourth quarter that none of the team's starters, including Brown, played over the final 12 minutes of the game in a 126-107 victory.
If the score was tighter and Brown had played in the fourth quarter, he probably would have scored 50-plus points. Settling for 42 is still pretty good, though.
Brown, as you might imagine, made some history Wednesday night. Here are some impressive stats and milestones from his career-best game.
Brown is averaging 28 points per game on 56.2 percent shooting and 44 percent from 3-point range this season. He's taking his game to an All-Star level, and the Celtics absolutely need it with Kemba Walker injured and out of the lineup.
