MIAMI — The Celtics extended their road win streak to six games with a 103-85 defeat of the Jimmy Butler-less Miami Heat. With the victory, they’ve won six of their last seven games, and have a 38-16 record (just four games worse than their record at this point last year).
They started the game slow, trailing by 11 points early in the first quarter, but came out swinging in the second and third quarters largely thanks to the strong play of Jayson Tatum (33 points, 8 rebounds).
But this one was a complete team effort, with all five starters scoring in double-figures: Al Horford (16 points, 10 rebounds), Kristaps Porzingis (17 points, 9 rebounds), Derrick White (13 points, 7 assists), Sam Hauser (15 points).
