The Boston Celtics looked like an entirely different ball club than the one that took it to the Indiana Pacers at a historic level in their last tilt compared to how they appeared against the Brooklyn Nets early in their road tilt with their Atlantic Division peers.
But despite letting the Nets hang around for much of the game and even take the lead briefly, the Celtics put the game away in the fourth quarter with big games from Jayson Tatum (32 points, 11 rebounds on hi sway to a historic 10,000 career points), Jaylen Brown (23 points, 5 boards, 4 assists), Kristaps Porzingis (22 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks), and Jrue Holiday (18 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists).
Overcoming some rough early play, reserve big man Luke Kornet had his best game of the season to log 11 points and 7 boards on a night that saw little else in terms of production from the bench.
