Jayson Tatum scored 22 points, Derrick White added 20, and the Boston Celtics held off a late Cleveland Cavaliers rally to secure a 112-105 win. Kristaps Porziņģis chipped in 19 points, while Jaylen Brown contributed 16 points and nine rebounds. Despite 31 points from Donovan Mitchell and 25 from Darius Garland, the Cavs fell short as Evan Mobley struggled with just 7 points.
