Overview

  • The Celtics erased a 22-point deficit to win 98-93 in Toronto, completing a comeback that flipped the game after a second-quarter surge.
  • Toronto made 10 three-pointers in the first quarter to tie a franchise single-quarter record and finished 16-for-43 (37.2%) from beyond the arc.
  • Coach Joe Mazzulla said Jayson Tatum's energy turned the game in the middle of the second quarter; Tatum finished with 24 points, eight assists and seven rebounds while shooting 6-of-21.
  • Reserve center Neemias Queta recorded a double-double (11 points, 13 rebounds), grabbed the decisive defensive rebound late and sank two clutch free throws to help seal the win.
  • The victory closed a perfect 4-0 road trip for Boston without Paul George and extended the Celtics' streak to five wins, while Toronto — missing Scottie Barnes and Kawhi Leonard — quickly turns to a short trip to Philadelphia.
