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.

“They are the two pillars and leaders of the team and when they come out and play with that intensity, everyone seems to follow suit.”
Boston Celtics have yet to lose a game when Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum each score 30+ points
It is the 3rd time this season that Jaylen and Jayson recorded 30+ points each. The only other duo with more such games in a season is Larry Bird and Kevin McHale (1986-87). And the Cs are now a flawless 7-0 when the duo have recorded 30 points each.
As soon as the Celtics recorded the 53-point win, NBA Twitter erupted with all sorts of reactions.
The Celtics are now placed 9th in the East with a >.500 25-24 record. Tatum and co. will now go on a road trip playing the Hawks and the Pelicans, before flying back home for a short 2-game homestand.
