The Spurs completely dominated Boston during the first half, building a 24-point cushion behind a stifling defensive effort that left their visitors frustrated and completely out of rhythm. Although the Celtics eventually made a huge run to capture their first lead late in the fourth quarter, San Antonio weathered the storm and ended their six-game skid.
Dejounte Murray packed the box score with a career-high 29 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, three steals, and a block and stepped up down the stretch when the Silver and Black needed a closer. Keldon Johnson and Derrick White chipped in 17 points apiece, while Tre Jones and Lonnie Walker combined for 22 points off the bench.
