Boston now holds a 12-0 home record, just 5 wins shy of tying the franchise record for most home wins in a row to start a season. With some good teams coming to town in the next couple weeks, it'll be challenging, but this group has a chance to etch their names in Celtics history.

Boston was led by Jayson Tatum (27 Pts, 11 Reb), who scored 12 points in the 4th quarter to keep the Cavs out of reach.

Tonight was the 9th game this season where all 5 of the Celtics starters scored in double-figures, with Boston's record moving to 9-0 in those games. This team is a wagon when everyone is involved and playing with energy.

Following tonight's win, Boston holds the NBA's best record at 18-5, with a 2-game lead in the loss column in the Eastern Conference.

The Celtics will be back in action tomorrow night at home against the Orlando Magic. Orlando has gotten the better of the Celtics 4 straight times, so expect the guys to come out with something to prove.
