The Boston Celtics remain undefeated this NBA season after defeating the Brooklyn Nets 92-103, in a game they dominated from start to finish to stay ahead in the Eastern Conference.
The green team was commanded as usual by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who demonstrated their power to command the baskets and thus keep Boston always above the locals. Brown had 34 points and 10 rebounds, while Tatum had 29 points and 11 rebounds.

“Although we are scoring at a fast pace, practically with record numbers, defensively we cannot let the rope slip away. It was a great match tonight” Brown said.
The Celtics defense was without Marcus Smart for the game against the Nets. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year is out with a hip contusion that sidelines him.
With this game, the Celtics remain in the lead in the Eastern Conference, two games ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks.
In the rest of the day:
- Trail Blazers vs. Pacers (116-100)
