Celtics star Jaylen Brown (25 points) spoke to reporters after Boston’s 122-104 win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night. The Celtics will be playing again and gunning for their third straight win on Sunday night against the Wizards.

“We just needed some energy,” Brown said. “There’s games like that where the officiating kind of slows the game up, a lot of calls. We were looking for something to give us a little bit of a spark.”

On who has provided the Celtics with a spark when they’ve needed it, Brown said, “Payton (Pritchard), it almost seems like it’s him every time.”
