The Boston Celtics continue to roll along as they head into Brooklyn with the NBA's best record at 41-12. The Celtics have won four straight games and eight out of their last ten games after defeating the Miami Heat 110-106 on Super Bowl Sunday. The Celtics were led by a near triple-double from superstar Jayson Tatum. Tatum finished the game with 26 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists as the Celtics held on for a win despite a late surge from the Heat. Kristaps Porzingas had a strong night as well with 25 points and Jaylen Brown chipped in with 20 points. As a team, the Celtics drilled 16-of-39 three-point attempts on the afternoon.
“Today was fun, we have a lot of history with this team. Last time we came here we smacked them, so we knew it would be a closer game,” Tatum said of Boston’s 33-point win in Miami Jan. 25. “They came to play and we enjoy being part of games like that. Ever ybody’s being competitive.”
