BOSTON — The Celtics have proven early this season that they can win games without several of their key players. But they ventured into some uncharted territory without Jayson Tatum on Sunday night.

Seven Celtics players scored in double-figures as Boston cruised to a 130-121 victory at home against Washington Sunday evening.

"Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown seem like bets to stick in Boston for the long run, but if things change they could net a haul in a trade for either of them," writes HoopsHype.

BOSTON — The Celtics couldn’t seem to get out of their own way. They weren’t getting it done defensively, and their frustration with the officiating was painfully apparent late in the third quarter, with Jayson Tatum and Grant Williams barking at the refs in a game that was in danger…

Both ball clubs have been winning quite frequently of late due to their blistering offensive assaults.

"You do the best you can and balance everything," suggested the Cal alum. "Regardless of what you say, some people are going to disagree or already form an opinion."

All in all, it was a scintillating contest that further cemented the Celtics' status as a top team in the league this season.
