Tuesday night in Salt Lake City, the Boston Celtics avenged their loss to the Utah Jazz at TD Garden. The visitors earned a 129-119 victory. They are now 2-1 on their five-game road trip.

At the heart of that win stood Derrick White. The six-foot-four guard emphatically reinforced that he is the NBA's best shot-blocker at his position.

White swatted not one, not two, but seven of Utah's field goal attempts.
