Marcus Smart added
22 points, Al Horford had 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Tatum also contributed
10 rebounds as the Celtics improved to 11–3 on the season while the Thunder
fell to 6–8.
The Celtics, down
by seven at halftime and after three quarters, outscored Oklahoma City 37–26 in
the fourth quarter to rally for the victory, with Derrick White coming off the
bench to score 16 points.
“I thought our
bench did a great job of bringing the energy and picking us up,” Celtics coach
Joe Mazzulla said.
Payton Pritchard
added 10 points and two steals in a reserve role.
“We were a little
sluggish starting this game,” he said. “I think the second half we just wanted
to come out, pressure the ball, make them uncomfortable and that led to points
on the other end.”
“Stay being
resilient. That’s what it is. Got to be resilient always.”
