It was just 1 of 82 games as far as he was concerned.His team sure played like it mattered a little more. Jaylen Brown scored 28 points, making five of his team’s 19 3-pointers, to lead Boston to a 121-107 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night.Jayson Tatum added 23 points and 10 rebounds to help the Celtics snap a two-game skid and earn a victory in their tourney opener.Boston’s bench, which had struggled in back-to-back losses, contributed 37 points, getting 15 from Sam Hauser and 13 from Payton Pritchard.Mazzulla said Pritchard’s impact was felt all over the court. “To me, he changed the game for us,” Mazzulla said. “It’s easy to look at the scoring on the bench and feel like they’re not producing.

Abdel-Fattah Burhan and the commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, Gen.
