| Boston got payback for San Antonio's huge comeback last season. |
Dejounte Murray (23 points) & Brandon Ingram (29 points) tried to will the Spurs into a home victory as the supporting cast struggled to contribute, but the Celtics just caught too hot a fire in the 4th Quarter, outscoring San Antonio 38-22. Boston won 3 out of 4 quarters in the scoring column. In the loss, Drummond had 16 rebounds.
For the Celtics, Jaylen Brown scored 25 points. Jayson Tatum had 23 points, with Kemba Walker dropping 17 points with 8 assists. Tristan Thompson had 14 rebounds.
The Spurs shot just 42% to Boston's 50% by night's end.
