The Boston Celtics cruised by the Brooklyn Nets 116-95 on Monday night to get their third straight win. The C's put together a very workman-like effort against a shorthanded Nets team, and came away with a relatively easy win on their home court. Boston used a season-high 37 assists and solid contributions across the board to secure the win.
Kyrie Irving led the Celtics with 17 points and six assists in just 28 minutes. Jayson Tatum added 16 points, four rebounds, and four assists, and six other Boston players joined them in double figures.
