On Saturday, the Boston Celtics picked up a 145-108 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Prior to the lopsided contest, Los Angeles won nine of their last ten games.
Jayson Tatum totaled a game-high 30 points. As captured by NBC Sports Boston, the Celtics forward is pleased with his team’s performance.
"We've been playing the right way... It's hard to guard [us] one on one. We create a lot of problems."
In addition to Tatum, teammates Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Neemias Queta, and Oshae Brissett scored double-digits in points. Likewise, six Celtics players scored ten-plus points in their recent 144-119 win against the Sacramento Kings.
Despite early season struggles, the Clippers have ascended to the fifth seed in the Western Conference. They currently rank in the top ten for offensive and defensive rating.
Tatum commented on the caliber of the Clippers.
“This is a really, really talented team. They’ve got four future Hall of Famers."
