Tatum’s offensive onslaught was complemented by Derrick White, who chipped in with 24 points, while Jrue Holiday added 16 points and eight assists. Sam Hauser contributed 14 points.
The Celtics’ sharpshooting from beyond the arc was a decisive factor in the victory, as they drained 20 three-pointers.
Utah, plagued by injuries, struggled to contain Boston’s offensive firepower, despite solid performances from Keyonte George (26 points), Jordan Clarkson (21 points), and Collin Sexton (20 points).
