The Celtics were undeterred by Pokuszewski’s double-double

The Boston Celtics have taken the air of the Oklahoma City Thunder and have seven wins in the last seven games between them after going 126-122 at TD Garden.

The three pillars of the Celtics had almost equal contributions to the game. Jayson Tatum had 27 points (8/16 2-pointers, 1/9 3-pointers, 8/10 shots), 10 rebounds, 3 steals, 3 blocks. Jaylen Brown followed with 26 points (11/16 2-points, 0/5 3-points, 4/6 shots), 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 turnovers, while Marcus Smart added 22 points (7/10 2-points, 1/2 3-pointers, 5/6 shots), 5 rebounds and 8 final passes.

On the other hand, Alexey Pokusevfki hit a double-double with 16 points (5/8 deuces, 2/4 trebles), 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, and Sai Gilgeous-Alexander stopped at 37 points (11/22 deuces, 2 /4 threes, 9/9 shots) and 8 assists, but that didn’t seem like enough.
