Celtics 104, Nets 96

 

Who are these guys? Brown is still out with whatever it is that's been ailing him lately and Tatum sat this one out tonight, too. Porzingis stepped up again and lead the team with a 25-point, 13- rebound double double and  Baylor Scheierman (who?) went an incredible 6-for-7 on three-point shots and scored a total of 20 points off the bench. Result: Celtics win by eight.

The  Celtics will take the rest of the week off (they've earned it) and fly to Salt Lake City to play the Utah Jazz on Friday night. Hopefully, Brown and Tatum will be back in the lineup by then.
