NBA: Celtics defeat Spurs 108-94

Kyrie Irving scored 24 points, Jaylen Brown added 18, and Al Horford grabbed 13 rebounds as the Boston Celtics won their fifth consecutive game on Monday, beating the San Antonio Spurs 108-94.

Irving has scored 24 points in three consecutive games, rookie Jayson Tatum had 11 rebounds, and Terry Rozier contributed 12 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter.

Boston lost their first two games of the season on consecutive nights and also lost their star player Gordon Hayward to a serious injury. However, since then the Celtics have been unbeatable.

Dominican player Horford also recorded 14 points and five assists.

Reserves Brandon Paul and Rudy Gay scored 18 and 14 points respectively for San Antonio, who are still without Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard. The Spurs lost on consecutive nights and finished with a record of 1-3 during their four-game road trip.

As a result, coach Gregg Popovich will have to continue waiting for his 1,155th career victory, which would tie him with Phil Jackson in sixth place on the all-time NBA list.
