Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led a balanced scoring attack on Sunday, as the Celtics routed the Knicks 118-105.

Jayson Tatum scored 25 points with 10 rebounds and nine assists to lead the Boston Celtics to a 118-105 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday. Tatum just missed getting a triple-double for the second straight game after earning one in a victory at Philadelphia on Thursday.

Jayson Tatum has established himself not only as one of the top players in the NBA but also as one of the greatest players in Boston Celtics history. While it is too early to rank him among the likes of Bill Russell and Larry Bird, there is no doubt that Tatum has a chance to at least be in the conversation when all is said and done.

The Boston Celtics blew out the Knicks in their first two meetings and got off to a good start here. They went on an 11-0 run to take an early 13-3 lead. The Celtics were playing solid defense and getting out for transition buckets.

Payton Pritchard made eight 3-pointers and scored 28 points, Jayson Tatum finished with his fourth career triple-double, and the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers 124-104.
