LIVE COVERAGE

Fourth quarter

• The Jazz opened the quarter on a 10-2 run


• Jaylen Brown has hit a big 3-pointer and a 3-point play to keep Boston close

• The Boston defense is clamping down on the Jazz, who haven't scored in nearly 3 minutes


• Utah did score, and unfortunately it was consecutive 3-pointers from Mike Conley and Donovan Mitchell


• This game is boiling down to Mitchell getting looks and Tatum and Brown being forced to give it up

• Utah started out the half attacking Kemba Walker in the post, getting Bogdanovic in the paint and either scoring or passing


• Daniel Theis pick-and-rolls/pick-and-pops are helping keep the Celtics close, but the defense is starting to crack a little bit.


• At the 4:18 mark, Boston and Utah both had 4 made field goals but Boston had 10 more shot attempts


• Jayson Tatum has saved the Celtics in the third quarter, making plays on both ends, including a 4-point play to give Boston a lead a cap and 8-0 run


• The Celtics were in a rough spot, but they flipped a 7-point deficit into a 2-point lead heading into the 4th

• It's Jordan Clarkson time. Clarkson hit tree straight 3-pointers and now the Jazz are up 3. Utah's bench is demolishing the Celtics 24-6


• The Celtics are getting turnovers again. The Jazz are up to 10 with 6:03 left in the half.


• Boston is up while hitting just 2-11 from 3


• The ball movement has been excellent for the Celtics. They are starting to cut again and it's paying off.


• The Celtics are making small mistakes that allow the Jazz to get good looks. Biting of upfakes and blown rotations are killers against Utah


• The Celtics did not shoot a free throw in the first half (though it didn't seem like there were many calls that went against them)

• Celtics open the game getting the Jazz to turn the ball over a few times. The energy is good and aside from one scrambling defensive possession, solid on both ends


• Jaylen Brown opens as the hot man for the C's, but the team is focused on attacking the shot blocker and it's paying off


• Boston whipped off a 12-0 run by getting up the floor off misses and steals. Brown has is having a monster quarter


• A couple of defensive lapses have giving the Jazz life. Robert Williams lost Rudy Gobert on a roll and a missed boxout allowed a putback


• The Celtics only scored four points in the final 4:33 of the quarter.

• Celtics vs. Jazz spread: Jazz -4


• Celtics vs. Jazz over-under: 229.5 points


• Celtics vs. Jazz money line: Jazz -165, Celtics +145
