BOSTON — The defending NBA champions held off the league’s hottest team on Tuesday night, with Jayson Tatum scoring 33 points and adding 12 rebounds to lead the Boston Celtics to a 120-117 victory over Cleveland and hand the Cavaliers their first loss after 15 straight wins to open the…
This time, the Nets had to face Jaylen Brown. And a fully engaged salty Boston team. The result of this rematch was predictable, the Nets suffering a 139-114 loss at the hands of the reigning champions before a sellout crowd of 18,112 at Barclays Center. Dennis Schroder looks to put…
