BOSTON (AP) — Jaylen Brown scored 17 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter to lead Boston to a 114-97 victory over the Orlando Magic on Sunday that improved the Celtics’ NBA-best home record to 14-0.
It’s the Celtics’ second-best start at home, behind the 1957-58 club led by Bill Russell that opened with 17 straight wins the fall after capturing the first of its 17 NBA titles.
Jayson Tatum added 23 points, Kristaps Porzingis had 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Jrue Holiday scored 14 points for Boston, which completed a sweep of consecutive games at TD Garden against the Magic for its fifth straight win overall.
