NEW YORK (AP) — Payton Pritchard scored 32 points, Jaylen Brown had 27 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics outlasted the lottery-bound Brooklyn Nets 130-126 in double overtime on Friday night.

The Boston Celtics have exceeded expectations without Jayson Tatum this season, and despite sitting tied for second place in the Eastern Conference, the team still has needs ahead of the NBA trade deadline,

The Celtics escaped Brooklyn with a stunning double-OT victory Friday night thanks to Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard and clutch plays by a pair of 2025 draft picks.

Gonzalez hit the shot of his life: a left-corner three to tie the game and force double overtime. From there, the C’s seized control and escaped Barclays Center with a 130-126 victory. But the shot didn’t happen by accident.

The Brooklyn Nets fell to the Boston Celtics 130-126 in double overtime two days after getting torched by 54 points by the New York Knicks.

Two days after acquiring center Nikola Vucevic, the Boston Celtics traded forward Chris Boucher to the Utah Jazz on Thursday.
