Celtics vs Jazz Prediction: Last Game Analysis

Will the Celtics continue to add another win?

The Boston Celtics came through in the clutch to defeat the Wolves 104-102 by playing tough defense and making key plays late. Jaylen Brown took the lead with his second consecutive brilliant effort, dominating the Wolves in the second half and scoring 35 points. In spite of his poor shooting performance (4-of-16 from the field), Jayson Tatum repeatedly found himself at the free throw line against the Minnesota defense, where he made 14-of-16 attempts. Anthony Edwards had a strong performance for Minnesota, scoring 28 points, but the Wolves were unable to hold on when it mattered most.

Despite their poor shooting, the Celtics were able to gain the upper hand because of their defensive game. They went on a 13-2 run while their percentages were falling, putting the Wolves under pressure and taking control of the game.

Utah received 38 points from Lauri Markkanen, 23 from Simone Fontecchio, and 14 from Ochai Agbaji. Miami shot 31 for 36 from the line, compared to the Jazz’s 13 for 18.
