How VJ Edgecombe, Tyrese Maxey outdueled Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum in 76ers' upset win in Game 2

Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have played 260 playoff games combined. Tuesday night, they couldn't handle a 20-year-old rookie playing his second postseason game.

No. 3 pick VJ Edgecombe scored 30 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers evened their first-round series with the Boston Celtics with a 111-97 victory. He became the youngest player to ever put up 30 and 10 in an NBA playoff game.

VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey matched Boston's star duo

The Sixers' relentless duo of young guards were huge against Brown and Tatum, especially impressive against All-Defensive guard Derrick White. Edgecombe shot 12-of-20 for the game, going 6-of-10 on threes. Maxey put up 29 points and delivered nine assists, shooting 5-of-12 on threes. The 11 combined triples nearly matched the Celtics' entire team, who went 13-of-50 from behind the arc.

Brown and Tatum were no slouches, with Brown scoring 36 points and making five threes. Tatum finished with 19 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists, though his outside shot wasn't falling (2-of-8). However, the pair and their Celtics teammates seemed a step slow against Edgecombe and Maxey all night, whether it was rotating on drives to closing out on threes, where Edgecombe was left far too open.
