The forward scored 37 points as the Celtics who are leading the National Basketball Association (NBA) unleashed a dominant offensive performance to blow past the Phoenix Suns 127-112 at their TD Garden home.
Boston's trio of Brown, Jayson Tatum and AI Horford combined for 87 points in a dazzling performance against a Suns team looking to avenge the 117-107 home loss to Boston in Arizona on March 9.
Tatum finished with 26 points, while Horford weighed in with 24 points to secure a victory that edges the Celtics closer to securing the Eastern Conference's top seeding in the post-season.
Mazzulla shared a little insight into Brown's display in the victory.
"I think he's really taken the point of emphasis to being a wellrounded player," he said.
"Everything with him starts with his defensive intensity. Getting off to a great start defensively gets him going and that's big for our team.
"And he can score on anybody at any time.
