Boston Beats Utah 126-97 to Move to 17-0 at Home
The Boston Celtics defeated the Utah Jazz 126-97 Friday night at TD Garden. The win takes Boston's home record to 17-0 this season, matching the most consecutive home wins to start a season in franchise history.
This was a dominant win for the C's that saw the starting unit exit the game with 2:45 to go in the 3rd quarter with a 35-point lead. The Celtics moved to 27-7 with their impressive victory. Jayson Tatum led the way for Boston with 30 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and a +34 in just 25 minutes of action. This was another game where the Celtics saw all 5 of their starters score in double-figures, which is a huge key to success moving forward.
Keeping the minutes down for the starting unit tonight was huge, as they travel to Indiana tonight for a back-to-back tomorrow night against the Pacers. The Celtics matched another franchise record tonight by scoring 120+ for the 9th game in a row. They will have a chance to break that record tomorrow night against the Pacers as they look to avenge their loss in the In-Season Tournament.
The Celtics next game will be Saturday night against the Pacers.
Remember to keep voting for your Celtics to make it to All-Star weekend!
