No Jayson Tatum, no problem for the Celtics on Sunday night.
Even with Tatum held out of the game due to a left hip contusion, Boston diced up the Spurs at TD Garden by way of a 137-93 blowout victory.
As expected, most of the scoring duties fell on Jaylen Brown’s shoulders with Tatum sidelined. And the Celtics’ star delivered on the parquet floor, recording 41 points, 13 rebounds and three assists in just 36 minutes against San Antonio.
Brown feasted against a weak Spurs defense, posting 26 points in the first half while sinking all nine of his field-goal attempts.
