Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown took advantage of their mismatches against the Warriors and guided Boston to a big road win.

It didn't take long for the action on the court to dispel any notion that it would be a dull contest. Or so we thought in the early going.

In a battle against the defending champs in Golden State, the Celtics routed the Warriors, resulting in a crushing 125-85 final in Boston's favor. The Warriors' 40-point loss was their second biggest of the season, and their 85 points is the lowest mark of their disappointing 2024-25 campaign.
