BOSTON, MA — The Celtics rode Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum to an explosive run of pacing and spacing to close a third quarter that thwarted the second best team in the west, the Nuggets, from hanging around in the third.
A blowout victory didn’t require Gordon Hayward or Kemba Walker’s best, showcasing how deep this Boston’s team has been. Marcus Smart returned with a 4-for-5 performance on his mother’s birthday and Stevens continues to toy with his center options. Enjoy the fallout of winning below.
