The Boston Celtics improved to 17-4 on the season with a 108-89 victory over the Miami Heat on Monday night, thanks to another strong performance from star players Jayson Tatum (18 points, 11 rebounds) and Jaylen Brown (29 points, seven rebounds).
The availability of Boston's two stars has allowed the Celtics to become a year-over-year contender in the East since the duo arrived in the league. As the Celtics embark on a chase to capture their second-straight NBA title, they will be reliant upon their stars to be available once again, just as they have been throughout the majority of their respective careers.
