BOSTON, MASS. (AP) — Jaylen Brown scored the Celtics’ first 15 points on five consecutive 3-pointers and finished with 29 points, before Boston withstood a late charge to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 107-105 on Sunday. Jayson Tatum added 26 points and eight rebounds to help Boston post a season-high fifth straight victory.

This helped the Celtics build a few big leads throughout the game, and at one point Boston was up by 19. Minnesota hung tough, and went on a few scoring outbursts of their own. Late in the game it looked as if the Timberwolves might pull ahead and win the game,
