BOSTON — Don’t look now, but the Celtics are stringing together wins and turning the page on an up-and-down couple of weeks en route to an impressive 39-16 record. That’s thanks a resounding 116-103 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night at TD Garden.
They enter the All-Star break winners of 3 straight and 7 of their last 8 games, and now have a week off until their next game (except for Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, who both have All-Star obligations in San Francisco).
The Celtics jumped out to an 18-point first-quarter lead, and led by double-digits for almost the entire second half, in large part due to big nights from Tatum (32 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists), Kristaps Porzingis (29 points, 6 rebounds), and Derrick White (19 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds).
