BOSTON – Fresh off a brutal loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, and with the drama of Ime Udoka’s return ringing throughout the building, the Boston Celtics returned to TD Garden on Saturday night in search of a win.
Jaylen Brown responded by scoring or assisting on nine of their first 11 points.
A dish to Kristaps Porzingis for a three, two mid-range jumpers, and a strong drive to the basket was enough to kickstart a Celtics’ offense that went on to put up 145 points–tied for their second-most in a game this season and the most allowed by the Houston Rockets so far this year.
