Nevertheless, the Celtics face a long season. The roster is still developing and full of unproven, inexperienced young talent. There will be difficult runs of games, with the bigger test being how connected the team remains when things aren't going according to plan.

Jaylen Brown led the hosts with 30 points, with 18 coming in the second quarter. Josh Minott (11 points, 14 rebounds), Payton Pritchard (10 points, 10 assists) and Neemias Queta (10 points, 13 rebounds) all chipped in with double-doubles in what was Minott’s second career start.
