The Boston Celtics (36 - 25) earned a home win Monday at TD Garden over the Utah Jazz (28 - 31), 100 - 95. The Jazz opened up a double - digit lead early in the second quarter and threatened to pull away, but the Celtics trimmed the lead to three by halftime. Neither team built up a lead greater than six points in a back - and - forth second half, and nine of the game's 10 lead changes came in the fourth quarter. It was the Celtics' ability to get to the line that put them over the top - - they attempted 12 more free throws than the Jazz and finished with an eight - point advantage from the line as six different Celtics earned at least three shots from the charity stripe. Jae Crowder finished with a game - high 22 points for the Celtics on an ultra - efficient shooting night (7 - 12 FG, 3 - 5 3PT, 5 - 7 FT). Avery Bradley (7 - 13 FG) and Isaiah Thomas (8 - 19 FG) added 18 points apiece, and Thomas finished with a game - high nine assists. The Celtics did n't have their deep shots working (6 - 18, 33 percent from three) but their passing was crisp, as they recorded 27 assists against just nine turnovers. The Jazz got a pair of double - doubles from starting big men Rudy Gobert (12 points, 12 rebounds) and Derrick Favors (11 points, 16 rebounds). Shelvin Mack scored 18 points (8 - 13 FG, 2 - 3 3PT), tied for the team lead with Trey Lyles (8 - 18 FG), who also grabbed 10 rebounds in just 23 minutes off the bench. The Jazz shot a putrid 38 - 101 (38 percent) and just 7 - 24 (29 percent) from deep. They just could n't get their shots off against Boston's deep front line, which recorded a mammoth 13 blocks on 77 two - point attempts (17 percent). The Jazz continue their road trip Wednesday against the Raptors. Boston continues its homestand Wednesday as they host the Trail Blazers.
