Jayson Tatum scored 39 points, Jaylen Brown had 23 and Boston took a 3-0 lead over Brooklyn with a 109-103 victory Saturday night.
Again making things difficult on Durant and Kyrie Irving, the Celtics put themselves in position to sweep their way into the second round with a victory Monday night in Brooklyn.
The Celtics forced 21 turnovers that led to 37 points. Tatum had six of their 13 steals.
“My message is, nobody plays harder than we do,” Tatum said.
Smart to Tatum to Horford for the corner 3 sums up this fourth. Celtics still playing team basketball, cutting, reversing, running actions. Nets don’t look capable of playing this way. What a difference watching these teams
