“Everyone seems to follow suit when Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown play with that intensity”: Ime Udoka lauds the stars as the Celtics remains perfect when they duo score 30+ points each

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown power the Celtics to a 53-point win, recording 30+ points each for the 3^rd time this season.

The Celtics-Kings matchup was as one-sided an affair as one could even imagine. Grabbing a huge lead ever since tip-off, it was Jayson Tatum and co. in the driving seat for the entire bout. And after 48 minutes of sheer domination, it was Ime Udoka’s boys who annihilated the Sacramento Kings 128-75.

It was a huge performance by the All-Star duo of Jaylen Brown and Tatum. In a stunning overall team outing, as the duo played only 2 quarters, JT recorded 36 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds, and JB put up a solid 30-point, 10-rebounds double-double to lead the Cs to a 53-point blowout win.
