The Boston Celtics secured a 114-98 victory over the visiting Philadelphia 76ers on Monday morning (PH time) at TD Garden.
Philadelphia trailed for most of the contest but mounted a late surge to stay within striking distance in the closing minutes.
Boston, however, slammed the door shut behind a decisive run sparked by Neemias Queta. The big man poured in nine straight points as part of a career-high 27-point performance to put the game out of reach.

Jaylen Brown matched Queta with 27 points of his own while flirting with a triple-double, adding eight rebounds and eight assists in a well-rounded effort.
