Celtics' Dominance


The Boston team demonstrated their prowess on both ends of the court. Jaylen Brown led the charge with a stellar performance, scoring 36 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. His shooting accuracy was remarkable, hitting 63 percent from the field and an impressive 71 percent from beyond the arc. Kristaps Porzingis also made significant contributions with his double-double effort of 20 points and 10 rebounds, along with two blocks that fortified Boston's defense.


Derrick White added to Boston's offensive firepower by contributing 17 points and dishing out five assists. His ability to penetrate Orlando's defense created numerous scoring opportunities for his teammates. Meanwhile, Al Horford provided stability in rebounding by securing ten boards and adding nine points to his tally.


The Celtics' bench played a crucial role as well, contributing valuable minutes that helped maintain their lead throughout most of the game. Their collective effort resulted in maintaining control over rebounds—57 compared to Orlando’s total—and executing efficient plays that kept them ahead.
