The Boston Celtics obliterated the Brooklyn Nets 136-86 Wednesday night at TD Garden, the fourth largest victory in franchise history. With the result, the Celtics move to 43-12 on the season, while head coach Joe Mazzulla picks up his 100th career win.
The victory comes one night removed from a Boston win on the road in Brooklyn, and once again the Celtics were the better team from the jump. Boston’s defense bamboozled the Nets, leading to remarkably easy offense. By the end of the first half, Boston was up by 36 points, the team’s biggest halftime margin since 2010. It was about as lopsided an affair as the NBA has to offer.
Let’s jump in and take a closer look at a 136-86 Celtics victory over the Nets.
