The Boston Celtics grabbed an emphatic overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors Thursday night, storming back to win the game 121-118 behind a gutsy team effort. Boston has now won eight straight as the team heads north to play the Toronto Raptors.
It wasn’t the finest showing for Tatum and Brown, who struggled for much of the evening. Tatum did end the game with 34 points and a career-best 19 rebounds. Tatum played for the final 42 minutes of the game, and down the stretch, the Celtics stars stepped up in a big way.
Boston’s supporting cast played may have ultimately played the biggest factor in Thursday’s victory. Al Horford led the charge for Boston’s role players, including a series of critical block late in the fourth quarter. Horford finished the game with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks. All told, six Celtics players scored 14 or more points.
