The Boston Celtics have been on the roll since the beginning of this year’s NBA season, and their latest game on Monday night resulted in another epic win. They defeated the Toronto Raptors to become the first team to reach 20 wins this season. The Celtics scored their seventh win in eight games on Monday, beating the Raptors 116-110. Jayson Tatum was one of the players leading the Celtics to their latest victory, scoring 31 points for his side. It was also a big night for Jaylen Brown, who finished the game with 22 points, and Marcus Smart, who added another 18 points for Boston. The Celtics' latest victory is especially impressive considering they fell behind in the first half, and the team’s interim coach Joe Mazzulla was pleased with the way they responded to the pressure and managed to make a comeback. “You have to play the back-to-backs. You can’t run from them. Just have the right mindset. I thought our guys did a great job of fighting to stay in the game in the first half,” said Mazzulla. The Celtics will have a chance to continue their winning strike on Wednesday night when they’re set to face the Phoenix Suns.
