The Celtics, first in the Atlantic Division, have become the most reliably entertaining team to watch lately. After Tatum's game-winning jumper as the clock expired Friday and then Sunday's epic 26-point comeback, the Celtics have set the bar pretty high. This game wasn't quite as much of an edge-of-the-seat nail-biter, but anytime you play the team with the best record in the NBA, it's never easy. The Cavs, first in the Central Division and first overall in the Eastern Conference, didn't concede anything and contested everything, but the Celtics answered every challenge thrown at them and came away with their fourth consecutive Double-You.
Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 22 points. Derrick White scored 20, Porzingis 19, and Brown 16. The C's are 36-15 and now five back from the Cavs in the East.
Want more excitement? Thursday night they host the new-look, Doncic-less Dallas Mavs. Anthony Davis isn't expected to make his debut until Saturday, but you never know what might happen in the Garden.
