The Boston Celtics, leading the Eastern Conference with the best record in the NBA, secured a historic 140-88 victory over the Golden State Warriors, marking their 11th consecutive win. The Warriors' last-minute defensive strategy to leave Jaylen Brown open, despite him being a 34% 3-point shooter, backfired as Brown scored 29 points, including 19 in the first seven minutes. Jayson Tatum also contributed significantly with 27 points. This victory is part of the Celtics' historic run, becoming the first team in NBA history to post three 50-point wins in a single season. Their performance this season, with one of the highest point differentials in NBA history, underscores their championship potential.

Boston Celtics have an SRS of 11.45, which according to @Stathead is the 4th highest ever in NBA history (gotta keep it up for 20 more games! https://t.co/4D5uHFZoC9 Only way I wouldn't buy them wining a title is if they were coached by Doc Rivers or in Milwaukee.

Looks like it was Moody on Horford, Klay on Holiday, Curry on White and Kuminga on Tatum, with Draymond not really guarding Jaylen. I suspect Kerr and Draymond figured there was no way they could stay in front of those guys, so they tried something weird. Got destroyed. https://t.co/LKfSd1fDj4

LOL I think I heard Draymond Green post-game interview in which he said the defensive "game plan" against the Celtic was to allow Jaylen Brown to shoot wide open 3-pointers. If that was the case, Warriors will lose the play-in game.
The Celtics just reminded us all that they're one of the best teams ever by destroying the Warriors https://t.co/FVfLPqLFvq https://t.co/9m7GGJ2820

Strategy on Jaylen Brown had poor results, but after he hit 3 straight 3Ps to put BOS up 30-21 w/ 5:04 left in the 1Q, he didn't score again (0-3 FG in his 5.5 minutes) until 5:14 left in the 2Q...at which point BOS was up 60-28. GSW w/ 7 points in ~12 minutes of play was fatal. https://t.co/gznlMQSy93

The Celtics beat Golden State by 52?!
I asked Jaylen Brown the feeling of knowing an opponent can't guard your team. "It feels great but at the same time it’s always within humility. Any given point that could be us and we don’t take the game for granted. We didn’t come out and mess around. That’s just how we show…
The Celtics win today over the Warriors was their 3rd by 50 or more points this season (did same to Pacers & Nets). BOS is the 1st team in NBA history to post three 50-point wins in a single season. Entering the season, BOS had just three 50-point wins in FRANCHISE history!
