Boston Celtics defeat Utah Jazz 121-99 for fourth straight win

The Boston Celtics secured a commanding 121-99 victory over the Utah Jazz, with Kristaps Porzingis leading the charge with 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Jayson Tatum contributed 26 points. This win marks Boston's fourth consecutive victory and their ninth in the last ten games, solidifying their position as second in the Eastern Conference with a 51-19 record. The Celtics set the tone early, hitting six of their first seven shots from beyond the arc, and maintained control despite a second-half rally from the Jazz, led by Collin Sexton, who scored 30 points. Tatum's pivotal three-pointer halted Utah's momentum during a critical stretch of the game, helping the Celtics to regain control. The Jazz, struggling with their seventh loss in eight games, were unable to keep pace with the defending champions. Both teams are scheduled to play again on Sunday, with Boston facing Portland and Utah hosting Cleveland.
