BOSTON — The Celtics’ roster now features two of the franchise’s top 10 all-time scorers.

Jaylen Brown joined that list of legends during Wednesday’s 120-99 victory over the Golden State Warriors at TD Garden, scoring 32 points on 11-of-21 shooting to reach 13,202 for his career. He moved past Jo Jo White (13,188) and Dave Cowens (13,192) to take over 10th place.

Teammate Jayson Tatum, who turned in a 24-point, 10-rebound double-double in the win, ranks ninth in Celtics history with 13,908 points.

The eight players ahead of them all are Basketball Hall of Famers who have had their numbers retired: John Havlicek, Paul Pierce, Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, Bob Cousy, Sam Jones and Bill Russell.

Tatum and Brown would rank 1-2 on the all-time scoring lists of six NBA franchises (Nets, Pelicans, Magic, Grizzlies, Hornets and Clippers).

Former Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis had 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting and five rebounds in his first game back on Causeway Street since his offseason trade. Despite his modest stat line, Porzingis was one of the more effective players for the injury-ravaged Warriors, finishing as a plus-3 over 22 minutes in a game his team lost by 21.

The long list of Warriors players who did not suit up included superstar guard Stephen Curry and ex-C’s big man Al Horford, who did not join Golden State for its lone trip to Boston this season.

The Celtics, who have won three straight after dropping consecutive games in San Antonio and Oklahoma City, will play in Memphis on Friday (8 p.m.).

Tatum has started slowly as a scorer in most of the games since his return. That was not the case on Wednesday. He hit three 3-pointers in the opening five minutes, nearly matching his single-game season high of four. Tatum also assisted on a pair of 3s — one by Sam Hauser and one by Brown, the second of which he set up by stepping back to evade Porzingis and whipping a pass out to the top of the key.

Brown received his co-star’s pass and drained it, as he did with eight of the nine field goals he attempted during a dominant, 19-point first quarter. Brown cut past Porzingis for a baseline dunk, bullied through backup big man Quinten Post for a layup and victimized Brandin Podziemski on multiple possessions. He scored at all levels: three makes at the rim, two more in the paint, two from the midrange and the aforementioned straightaway 3.

It was the best the Celtics’ superstar duo has looked to open a game since Tatum’s return from Achilles surgery on March 6. Boston led 36-23 after one quarter, and Brown and Tatum combined to score 28 of those points.

The Celtics did not have a single first-quarter basket that was not scored or assisted by one of the two. In one sequence, Tatum fired a quick-trigger pass to Baylor Scheierman in the corner, and when Scheierman misfired, Brown grabbed the rebound and fed Payton Pritchard for an open 3.

Tatum scored the final seven Celtics points of an evenly matched second quarter to send Boston into halftime up 63-50.

Porzingis, who received a tribute video and a standing ovation between quarters, was the only Warriors starter to post a positive plus/minus in the first half (plus-1). He made an impact with his defensive playmaking (two steals and two blocks), even as the Celtics targeted him at times.

Golden State trimmed the deficit to single digits early in the second half but quickly entered foul trouble, with Boston drawing five whistles in the first four minutes of the third quarter. Brown drew one on a fadeaway jumper over De’Anthony Melton, and Tatum drew another while driving on Draymond Green. Tatum drove past Porzingis on the next possession for a layup that made it 69-56.

The Celtics’ lead reached 21 points later in the third, thanks in part to another solid shift from second-string center Luka Garza, who finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and three steals. Boston’s trade-deadline move for Nikola Vucevic dropped Garza to third on the depth chart, but he’s held up well as the No. 2 while Vucevic recovers from finger surgery. Garza entered Wednesday with the second-best net rating of all Celtics rotation players since Vucevic’s injury, trailing only Tatum.

A Pritchard 3-pointer stretched Boston’s lead to 87-66 late in the third quarter, and additional threes by Derrick White and Scheierman early in the fourth helped put the game out of reach.

Tatum added his fifth trey of the game before checking out with 5:22 remaining, closing out his most efficient outing of the season after 31 minutes. Though he struggled with ball security at points (four turnovers), his 46.7% field-goal percentage and 45.5% success rate from deep both were season highs. Tatum has scored at least 20 points in each of his last five games and posted double-digit rebounds in three of the six outings since his comeback.
