The All-Star break has arrived, and the Celtics appear to be returning to form as they gear up for the second half.
Boston cruised to a 116-103 win over the Spurs on Wednesday and has now won seven of its last eight. Here are 10 takeaways:
1) Jayson Tatum set the tone early.
Tatum, who finished with 32 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists, came out firing and found a rhythm in the opening minutes. He became the first Celtic in the play-by-play era to have 14 points, six rebounds and three assists in a first quarter and played the game on his terms.
