They swallowed the inferior Jazz from the opening tip and never let up in a dominant 126-97 victory that was rarely in doubt.Jayson Tatum scored 30 points, which included a season-high 13 free throws, Kristaps Porzingis had 19 and Jrue Holiday contributed 14 as the Celtics made quick and easy work of the surging Jazz – who were winners of nine of their previous 12 games – in this convincing romp.
