The Boston Celtics followed up their 103-92 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night with a 116-110 road win over the Toronto Raptors to improve to a league-best 20-5 as they continue their dominance of the NBA’s Eastern Conference standings.
A close game throughout most of the contest, Boston flipped on their “A” game in the third quarter to take control of the tilt and never looked back, fending off a strong Raptors challenge late in the game. Big games from Jayson Tatum (31 points, 12 rebounds), Jaylen Brown (22 points, 8 boards, as many assists), Marcus Smart (18 points, 7 assists), and Blake Griffin (13 points, 8 rebounds) sealed the deal for the Celtics and another 11 points and 7 boards from backup big man Luke Kornet put an exclamation point on the win.
Let’s take a look at some of the best plays captured in images from the Celtics’ 25th game of their 2022-23 campaign.
