The Boston Celtics dominated the Milwaukee Bucks 107-79 on Sunday night.
Jaylen Brown had 30 points and 13 rebounds for his third double-double this season, while Anfernee Simons scored 27 points off the bench to lead the Celtics.
Derrick White also added 17 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. Neemias Queta had 14 points and eight boards.
Boston has won their second straight game after alternating wins and losses in the previous four.
On the other end, Ryan Rollin led the Bucks with 25 points, and Kyle Kuzma added 16.
The Celtics led 56-42 at halftime and Brown scored 10 of their initial 12 points to start the second half, putting them ahead 68-47.
Brown missed their easy win over the Kings last Friday due to left hamstring tightness and a bruised right knee.
Boston led as far as 27 points midway through the final quarter on Brown’s 3-pointer before coach Joe Mazzulla pulled his starters.
Meanwhile, the game was the first NBA Pioneers Classic held in honor of the 75th anniversary of the debut seasons of the league’s first black players, including Chuck Cooper, Earl Lloyd and Nathaniel “Sweetwater” Clifton.
Both teams wore commemorative jersey patches and warm-up shirts as the players were honored on the first day of Black History Month.
They play again on Tuesday, with the Bucks hosting the Bulls and Celtics in Dallas.
