Celts snap losing streak to Spurs
Print Edition
AL Horford delivered 14 points and 13 rebounds as the Boston Celtics won their fifth straight and snapped an 11-game losing skid to the San Antonio Spurs with a 108-94 win on Monday.
Kyrie Irving played his best game for the Celtics who beat the injury-depleted Spurs for the first time in Boston since January 2011.
The Celtics have rallied from an 0-2 season start that saw them lose new signee Gordon Hayward to an injury in the opening game at Cleveland.
Irving led his new team by scoring 24 points, while Jaylen Brown scored 18 for the Celtics who improved to 5-2 on the 2017-18 NBA season. Former first overall draft pick Irving was dealt to the Celtics in the offseason after demanding a trade out of Cleveland.
The Spurs are still without injured Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker.
San Antonio got a career-high 18 points and 5 rebounds from Brandon Paul.
Pau Gasol had 11 points and 8 rebounds for the Spurs who suffered their third straight loss on a 1-3 road trip.
