The Boston Celtics hoped to bounce back from an avoidable loss to the Chicago Bulls that broke their league-leading nine-game winning streak with a win over the dangerous Dallas Mavericks squad on Wednesday night. And ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday and a six-game homestand, the Celtics got their wish with a 125-112 victory that was nearly wire-to-wire.
Big games from Jayson Tatum (37 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists), Jaylen Brown (31 points), Al Horford (14 points, 5 boards), and Marcus Smart (13 points, 9 assists) won the day, and reserve floor general Malcolm Brogdon chipped in another 13 points and 6 rebounds.
Let’s take a look at some of the best plays captured in images from the Celtics’ 18th game of their 2022-23 campaign.
