The Celtics rolled to a 137-93 win over the Spurs on Sunday, claiming their fifth win in their last six games.
Here are the takeaways.
1. On Friday, Jayson Tatum led the Celtics by shooting 10-for-13 in the restricted area against the Pacers.
On Sunday, with Tatum sidelined against the tanking Spurs, Jaylen Brown did him one better — scoring 41 points which included 13-for-15 shooting in the restricted area against a Spurs defense that had absolutely no chance of slowing him down. Spurs guards and wings couldn’t keep him in front. Spurs bigs couldn’t alter his shot when he got his shoulder into their bodies.
