Celtics Secure Win Despite Missing Key Players

The Boston Celtics emerged victorious over the Miami Heat with a 108-89 win at TD Garden, despite being without key players such as Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Jrue Holiday. Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 29 points, while Payton Pritchard contributed significantly off the bench with 25 points. The Celtics capitalized on Miami's poor shooting, with the Heat making only 23% of their three-point attempts, and Miami was missing star player Jimmy Butler due to a knee injury. This victory helped Boston recover from a recent loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, where notable performances from Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis were not enough to secure a win. The Celtics now hold a 17-4 record for the season, positioning themselves strongly in the league standings.
