Jayson Tatum put in an impressive performance for the Boston Celtics, scoring 30 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in less than three quarters of play. The Celtics dominated the Indiana Pacers, winning with a commanding score of 155-104 and maintaining their unbeaten record.

Boston got off to a scorching start, establishing a 10-point lead within the first three minutes and extending it to 20 points in the second quarter. They continued their onslaught in the third quarter, building a 30-point lead and eventually reaching a staggering 53-point advantage in the fourth quarter.

Alongside Tatum’s outstanding performance, Derrick White contributed 18 points, and Jaylen Brown added 16 points before the Celtics’ starters were benched in the late third quarter. Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard also made significant contributions off the bench, scoring 17 and 15 points, respectively.

Despite the absence of point guard Tyrese Halliburton and Jalen Smith due to injuries, the Pacers couldn’t narrow the gap. They trailed by 14 points for the remainder of the game and faced deficits of 30 or more points for the final 21 minutes.

Noteworthy statistics from the game include the Celtics shooting an impressive 76% from the field in the first quarter and recording 75 points at halftime for the second consecutive game, a feat not achieved by the team since the 1950-51 season. On the other hand, the Pacers struggled from beyond the arc, making only five of their 37 attempted three-pointers, and were outrebounded by a significant margin of 58-31.

The Boston Celtics displayed a dominant performance, led by Jayson Tatum’s exceptional scoring and rebounding, as they secured a resounding victory over the Indiana Pacers and remained unbeaten.
