• In the last meeting between the two teams, which was in March 2023, the Rockets beat the Celtics 111-109. At that time, Boston was not saved by Jaylen Brown’s 43 points either.
• The Celtics won the first half 69-58 in the sold-out TD Garden arena. In this part of the game, there were 11 changes of leadership, while eight times the result on the scoreboard was a draw.
• Porzingis, who scored 12 points and was the leading scorer in the game, should be singled out in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Jayson Tatum scored 15 points for the Rockets, helping Boston finish the half with +11.
• Jaylen Brown was great in the third quarter. He made seven of 10 shots, finishing the quarter with 21 points. Boston won the quarter 43-28, but led 112-86 before the final 12 minutes.
• Taking into account that the fate of the game was already decided, the “Celtics” leaders played little or not at all in the last quarter – Porzingis did not appear on the court.
• Boston built up its lead the rest of the game, winning the game 145-113. It was the Celtics’ 19th win at home this season, making them 19-0 at home.
• It is interesting that this season “Celtics” played three games in which at least 145 points were scored. This is the repeat best result in the history of the team. There have been more such matches only in 1959/60. in a season where at least 145 points were scored four times.
Most 145-point games in a Celtics season:
4 – 1959-60
3 – 1960-61
3 – 1961-62
3 – 1962-63
3 – 2023-24 (with more than half a season to go)— Taylor Snow (@taylorcsnow) January 14, 2024
