The Boston Celtics defeated the Utah Jazz 122-114 this past Friday night but that was not their most formidable opponent that night. Travel issues forced the team to arrive in Boston only hours before the game, after their resounding win vs. the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night.
The team was unable to find a pilot for their flight to their next game, and also unable to find a hotel to stay in once they were delayed. Speaking after the Jazz game, Jayson Tatum credited those issues as the extra push the team needed to handle business against Utah (via MassLive’s Souichi Terada).
