Celtics’ superb start continues with biggest offensive output since 1959

The Boston Celtics are 4-0 for the primary time in 14 years after laying a 155-104 beating at the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. The 155 issues scored is the second-highest single-game overall in franchise historical past, trailing most effective the 173 the Celtics hung at the Minneapolis Lakers long ago in 1959. 

In addition, the 51-point margin of victory represents the 3rd best possible in franchise historical past, trailing a 53-point win over Sacramento in 2022 and a 58-point win over Chicago in 2018. 

Jayson Tatum, who’s off to an out of this world start this season, wanted simply 27 mins to place up 30 issues and 12 rebounds on a fab 9-of-15 taking pictures, elevating his early taking pictures splits to 55/41/80. 

If you need the maths, the Celtics outscored the Pacers by means of a symmetrical 17 within the first quarter, 17 within the 3rd quarter, and 17 blended in the second one and fourth quarters. Thanks for coming. 

In reinforce of Tatum’s 30, the Celtics have been a portrait of offensive steadiness: 18 for Derrick White, 17 for Sam Hauser, 16 for Jaylen Brown, 15 for Jrue Holiday and Payton Pritchard and 13 for Kristaps Porzingis. Even end-of-bench guard Dalano Banton wanted simply 8 mins to attain 11 issues.

If the Pacers are searching for an excuse, Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) did not play. 

But Haliburton for sure shouldn’t have made that massive of a distinction. The Celtics are simply enjoying nice basketball to start the season. Boston will now have two days off ahead of eyeing a 5-0 start at Brooklyn on Saturday.
