Boston Blows Out Memphis as Marcus Smart is Honored

The Boston Celtics annihilated the Memphis Grizzlies 131-91 Sunday night at TD Garden.

The 40-point win was the second-largest margin of victory for the C's this season, as they really stretched the lead out in the 2nd half.

Jayson Tatum had it going from the jump, as JT finished the game with 34 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists in 3 quarters of action.

Kristaps Porzingis was excellent on the interior against the shorthanded Grizzlies. KP concluded Sunday's contest with 26 points and 8 rebounds on 10/17 shooting.

Boston's big win moves their home record to 23-3 this year, as they are still at the top of the NBA standings.
