Boston Celtics DOMINATE as Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser DELIVER Near-Record Night



Boston Celtics DOMINATE as Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser DELIVER Near-Record Night

Boston Celtics torch Atlanta Hawks with record-chasing three-point barrage—can this shooting streak last all season?

John Karalis breaks down the Celtics’ dominant 132-106 victory at State Farm Arena, spotlighting Jaylen Brown’s explosive 41-point performance and Sam Hauser’s near-record 10 three-pointers, narrowly missing Marcus Smart’s team mark. The analysis covers Boston’s scorching 52-point second quarter, Hauser’s comical record chase, and how Joe Mazzulla’s coaching let the hot hand ride. Key topics include the Celtics’ efficient shot generation, Derrick White’s impact on both ends, and adjustments as Boston stays locked in through the season’s grind.

Can the Celtics sustain this elite shooting and defensive focus heading into the showdown with the Detroit Pistons? Karalis also shares a behind-the-scenes look at his move to Sports Illustrated and what it means for Celtics coverage. Don’t miss the insights, stats, and signature winning culture driving Boston’s championship ambitions.

  1. When I saw that Dyson Daniels was out and knowing obviously the Hawks are a team with no direction right now, thought there was a chance C’s would sleepwalk through a loss. Way to take care of business. Thanks John and congrats again on the new gig.
