Celtics Beat the Magic 108-97: Jayson Tatum Scores a Game-High 32 as Boston Wins Its Fifth Straight
Five straight wins for Boston, and the latest came on the road - 32 points from Tatum in Orlando, against a Magic push led by Tristan da Silva's 23 and 10.
Jayson Tatum scored a game-high 32 points and the Boston Celtics defeated the Orlando Magic 108-97 on Sunday night, Reuters reported. The win, on the road in Orlando, extended Boston's winning streak to five games.
Orlando's resistance ran through Tristan da Silva. The German forward posted a double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds and drove a strong Magic push, Eurohoops reported, but Boston held the hosts to 97 points and closed the game out at the Kia Center.
The result keeps Boston the form team of the East's early season in the Reuters roundup's telling - five straight wins, the latest powered by its star's game-high night. For Orlando, da Silva's emergence is the consolation: a 23-and-10 line against the conference's hottest team is the kind of performance the Magic will measure their young core by as the season settles.
