The Celtics returned to Boston for a matchup with Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz. Boston came into the game looking to notch their fifth straight win, and they most certainly played like they wanted it. The Celtics dismantled the Jazz in a wire-to-wire blowout, 125-97. After the first minute of play in the 1st quarter, Utah never held the lead ever again as Boston put them in the rearview early. Marcus Smart had a game and career-high 13 assists for the Celtics.
“Our mindset was the same as the trip. Knowing we had three days off, so come out with juice,” said Head Coach Ime Udoka after the game.
“I don’t know how else to say it, but I’m finally in the right position that fits me and helps the team,” said Marcus Smart. On the turnaround the team has had, Smart said “The struggles that we went through early on is the reason why we’re succeeding so much now.”
On his teammate’s big game, Jaylen Brown said “Marcus has been running the show. We’re trusting him to be the point person and he’s made it easier for everybody. … He’s a big reason why our team has really turned it around.”
