The Warriors, on the other hand, now stand at a .500 record of 21-21 after this tough loss at home.
Celtics' Offensive Onslaught
The game was a showcase of Boston's offensive firepower and defensive prowess. The team's performance was highlighted by an explosive third quarter where they scored 43 points, effectively putting the game out of reach for Golden State. Overall, the Celtics shot an impressive 53 percent from the field and an even more remarkable 42 percent from beyond the arc, making 20 three-pointers.
Jayson Tatum led all scorers with 22 points while also contributing seven assists and nine rebounds. His all-around play was instrumental in guiding his team to victory. Kristaps Porzingis also had a notable performance with 18 points and seven rebounds, showcasing his ability to impact both ends of the floor.

Warriors Struggle Against Celtics Defense
The Golden State Warriors found themselves struggling to keep pace with Boston’s relentless attack. Shooting only 35 percent from field goal range and a disappointing 26 percent from three-point territory, they couldn't find their rhythm against a stout Celtics defense that recorded nine blocks and eight steals over four quarters.
Despite efforts from their bench contributing nearly half their total points (49), it wasn’t enough to challenge Boston’s commanding lead throughout most of the game. The largest lead by Boston stretched to an overwhelming margin of forty-five points - underscoring just how one-sided this matchup turned out to be.
