The “Greek Freak” amassed 24 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists in a duel where his team was in control for 48 minutes.
He was not, however, the most productive player on the floor, while his teammate Jrue Holiday shone with 25 points and nine rebounds. Bobby Portis meanwhile completed a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds.
The Celtics were sorely lacking in opportunism on Sunday, hitting only a third of their two-point shots. Jayson Tatum once again led the charge with 21 points, while Al Horford continued to excel around the ring with 10 rebounds.
The Boston team had a good scare early in the game after Marcus Smart retreated to the locker room after taking a hard shock to the shoulder. He finally came back into the game in the second half.
