Jaylen Brown collected 23 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists to lead the visiting Boston Celtics to a 121-110 triumph over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night in San Francisco.
It was Brown's third triple-double of the season and the sixth of his career.
Payton Pritchard came off the bench to post 26 points, six rebounds and seven assists for Boston. Sam Hauser (16) and Derrick White (10) also scored in double figures for the Celtics. Boston used 11 players and all 11 scored.
The Celtics had a 58-44 edge in points in the paint, and a 54-40 rebounding advantage.
De'Anthony Melton led the Warriors with 18 points. Gui Santos and reserve Will Richard each finished with 17.
Golden State, which trailed by 34 points in the third quarter, was within 12 halfway through the fourth, but never got closer than 11.
Golden State's Stephen Curry missed his sixth consecutive game with soreness in his right knee. The Warriors announced Thursday that the injury will keep Curry out of action for at least another 10 days. He hasn't played since Jan. 30.
Kristaps Porzingis made his debut for Golden State and had 12 points in 17 minutes. Porzingis, who played for Boston last two seasons, was acquired by the Warriors from Atlanta at the trade deadline, but hadn't played since Jan. 7 because of issues with his left Achilles tendon. The Celtics traded Porzingis to the Hawks in July.
The Celtics led 36-32 after one quarter and outscored the Warriors 38-19 in the second quarter to take a 74-51 halftime lead. Boston made 12 of 26 (46.2%) 3-point attempts in the first half.
The Celtics stretched their lead to 93-59 on a Nikola Vucevic basket with 5:27 remaining in the third quarter. Boston led 102-73 entering the fourth.
A 15-0 run pulled the Warriors within 15 points with 8:56 to play. It was 111-99 following a Gary Payton II dunk with 6:01 left, but Pritchard made back-to-back 3-pointers to extend Boston's advantage to 117-99.
