For the vast majority of NBA teams, playing without four catalysts would be a major cause for concern.
For the Celtics, it was business as usual Monday night with Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, Al Horford and Sam Hauser sidelined.
They still had Jaylen Brown and Derrick White, which never hurts. They were also playing the Pistons, which made life a smidgen easier.
Brown racked up 31 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and White added 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his first career triple-double, fueling Boston to a 119-94 triumph at TD Garden.
