The Boston Celtics are the only team in NBA history to win by 50 points three times in a season after winning 11 straight games. The Golden State Warriors were defeated by them 140–88. The Celtics’ third-biggest triumph in team history occurred from that one.

After the score was deadlocked at 21 points apiece, Boston went on a 58–13 run. With the score at 82-38 at the half, Steve Kerr decided to bench his starters. With Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum’s combined 56 points, the Celtics’ run to a 100-46 victory never came close, as they scored more points than the Warriors did. Compared to the starting five of the Warriors, the pair scored more than 20.

With four points, Steph Curry was 0-9 from three, which was the most misses in as many tries as a participant.

Jaylen Brown continued his blistering play from the All-Star break with 19 points in the first quarter on 6-10 shooting from the field. Golden State appeared to have that as their game plan in the first quarter as they kept giving him easy looks from the midrange and outside. When the game broke out, Brown even started to become emotional, energizing the crowd. Many speculated that this was because of the plan and the memories of Boston losing to the Warriors in the Finals in 2022.

The All-NBA forward set the tone for Golden State’s opening move, according to Joe Mazzulla.

Teams will protect us in various ways, so we must be receptive to what According to Inside The Celtics, Mazzulla stated, “gives us the best chance to win.” “There is a game plan, but the game will instruct us on what to do once it has begun. I just kept saying “thank you” and giving Jaylen more authority. His teammates deserve praise for giving him the freedom to just keep playing.”

Kerr also discussed the Warriors’ decision to let Brown go.

“You try different things; you have to pick your matchups; we wanted Draymond (Green) to be able to help on drives, and make sure that we weren’t giving up easy stuff in the paint,” Kerr stated. “The change from the start to the finish was the fatal one. Forty-two transition points were awarded to them. You’re not taking home a game with that level of defense, or none at all.”

Following the All-Star break, Brown has shown glimmers of the superstar form he displayed in the previous campaign.

With the most efficient offense in NBA history, a top point differential, and the highest NET rating in the league, the Celtics, who are now ranked second in both offensive and defensive efficiency, never cease to astound with their aggressive style in every game.

Tuesday and Thursday, when Boston plays the reigning champion Denver Nuggets and a fiery Cleveland Cavaliers club, will be more tests for the team.
