In a season full of statements, the Boston Celtics made their biggest yet on Sunday.
The Celtics put up a historic first half against the Golden State Warriors en route to a 140-88 drubbing of the team that defeated them two seasons ago in the NBA Finals. With the win, they became the first team in NBA history to win three regular-season games by 50 points or more. They did so while sitting their starters for the majority of the second half.
The game started as expected for a matchup of two competitive NBA teams.
