The Boston Celtics brought their A game to TD Garden for their last home game before their West Coast road trip to beat Atlantic Division rival Philadelphia 76ers, 88-87, with All-Star forward Jayson Tatum having one of his better games of the season on both ends of the floor.
The St Louis native shot a healthy 9-of-20 from the floor while scoring 26 points and snaring a career-high 16 boards. Three other Celtics scored in double figures while holding the Sixers to 37.1% shooting overall and 25.8% from 3-point range. Boston’s biggest lead was 12 points, but it took all the Celtics had and then some to secure the win with a late block from Robert Williams III.
