Every Celtic in the rotation who suited up today had an solid game in some way, but Boston’s two best players led the way while Trae Young (16 points on 28% shooting) struggled for Atlanta. Jaylen Brown posted a smooth 29 points and 12 rebounds while Jayson Tatum put up his way to 25 points and 11 rebounds. Derrick White also added 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
