Celtics 119, Thunder 109

 

Giant killers! Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder swagger into the TG Garden tonight with their NBA-leading 57 wins, and the Celtics add a number to their loss column. 

The Thunder came out strong, outscoring the Celtics by 11 points in the first quarter, but Boston adjusted and outscored Oklahoma in each of the next three quarters. Jaylen scored 31 points total and Jayson scored 19, with 12 rebounds to boot. Pritchard had the hot hand on three-point shooting, going four of six and scoring 12 of his 14 points from outside the circle. 

If this was a playoff preview, I like what I'm seeing. These Celtics can play with - and beat - the best. 

The Celtics fly down here to Atlanta to play the Hawks (41-32) on Friday night.
