The Boston Celtics have started their campaign with a lot of promise as their unbeaten streak continued. With a recent win, the Jayson Tatum-led side is on a 6-0 run with “Unicorn” Kristaps Porzingis contributing majorly. This form has already started to raise hopes for the franchise to hang its 18th banner in the city of Boston.

Their winning streak has put forward various positives of their gameplay. Their 124-114 triumph over the Brooklyn Nets has raised talking points amongst the viewers of the match.

1) Jayson Tatum continued to register MVP digits

In his five games till now, the 25-year-old has averaged 30.2-9.6-3.4 in about 175 minutes of play. Their game against the Nets saw no exception as he dropped 32- 11-1 in 41 minutes from the start. His double-double caught the eyes as he also shot 50% from the field and 60% from behind the three-point line.

These numbers showcased his growth, with an improvement in his defensive game early into the season. After falling short of winning the ring in the past seasons, Tatum must have only one goal in his mind. As things stand, he is going on the right track to fulfill his as well as the supporters’ dreams by the end of the season.

2) Kristaps Porzingis proved the doubters wrong

The NBA world met the initial news of the Celtics, acquiring ‘The Unicorn’ with a certain level of hesitation and concern.

The Latvian scored 22 points alongside recording 7 assists in half an hour against the New York franchise.

3) Al Horford shone in silence

The 37-year-old Al Horford got the job done for his franchise in their recent away clash as he finished the game with +29.
