The Boston Celtics defeated the Utah Jazz Friday night, marking a critical victory for a club still fighting for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Boston now sits 1.5 games behind the Milwaukee Bucks for the No.1 seed in the East with four regular season games remaining on the schedule.
Jayson Tatum may have led the way with 39 points and 11 rebounds, but it was the Celtics’ impressive depth that sealed the win for the home team. In total, six different Celtics players scored in double-figures. Malcolm Brogdon and Grant Williams deserve special kudos, as they helped bolster a strong bench performance that in part fueled Boston’s victory.
Boston now moves to 54-24 on the season. Let’s take a closer look at Friday’s action to see what helped the Celtics grab a victory over the Jazz.
