Jaylen Brown reaches 10th on Celtics’ all-time scoring list as Boston beats Golden State

Milestone night arrives during a road win in San Francisco

Jaylen Brown moved into 10th place on the Boston Celtics’ all-time regular-season scoring list during a 121-110 victory over the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center on Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026. Brown recorded 23 points and, in the process, climbed past two Hall of Famers—Dave Cowens (13,192 points with Boston) and Jo Jo White (13,188)—on the franchise’s career points leaderboard.

The game also stood out as one of Brown’s most complete performances as a playmaker and rebounder. He finished with 15 rebounds and 13 assists, posting a triple-double that included a career-high in assists and a match of his career-high for rebounds. It was Brown’s fifth career triple-double and his third of the 2025-26 season.

How the Celtics built the margin

Boston’s advantage was built early, with the Celtics taking a 74-51 lead into halftime after outscoring Golden State 38-19 in the second quarter. The lead reached 30 points before the Warriors made a fourth-quarter push, trimming the deficit to 12 with about six minutes remaining. Boston answered with timely perimeter shooting to steady the finish.

• Final score: Celtics 121, Warriors 110
• Boston scoring support: Payton Pritchard led the Celtics with 26 points off the bench; Sam Hauser added 16
• Brown’s line: 23 points, 15 rebounds, 13 assists

Golden State’s context: short-handed and integrating a new center

Golden State played without Stephen Curry, sidelined by a knee injury. The Warriors were also integrating Kristaps Porzingis, who made his Golden State debut after arriving at the trade deadline. Porzingis, who previously played two seasons in Boston and won a championship there, scored 12 points in the loss while continuing his return from a left Achilles issue.

De’Anthony Melton scored 18 points to lead the Warriors, while Will Richard and Gui Santos had 17 each.

What the scoring-list move signifies

Brown’s climb to No. 10 places him alongside franchise icons on a list topped by John Havlicek (26,395 points), with Paul Pierce (24,021) and Larry Bird (21,791) also among the leading scorers in Celtics history.

For Boston, the milestone arrived as part of a broader team result: the win extended a strong stretch around the All-Star break and reinforced the Celtics’ depth, with multiple rotation players producing efficiently alongside Brown’s all-around night.
