The Boston Celtics picked up a win on the road Monday night, defeat to the Sacramento Kings 113-95. Boston has now won six straight, and is 21-4 over the last 25 games.
Jayson Tatum was doing it all for the Celtics to open the game. He was up to 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists shortly after halftime. Midway through the third period, however, Tatum left the action with an apparent left ankle sprain following a collision with Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis. The rest of the Celtics picked up the scoring load in his place. Payton Pritchard was big off the bench, as was rookie Baylor Scheierman, who had another good outing. Jaylen Brown, who himself returned from injury was rather quiet, but it didn't matter much. Boston cruised to an easy victory out in Sacramento.
Let's recap the action with some of the best photos from the game, a 113-95 Celtics win over the Kings.
