The Boston Celtics delivered the first true blowout of the 2023-24 NBA season as they dropped 155 points in a victory over the Indiana Pacers.
All five Celtics starters scored in double figures, and Jayson Tatum led the way with 30 points in just 27 minutes on the floor. He added 12 rebounds for a double-double. Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porziņģis combined for 29 points.
Boston as a team shot 56.8 percent from the field and went 20-of-35 on threes.
Here’s where the performance stands historically:

The Celtics entered the year as one of the strongest contenders in the Eastern Conference. The addition Porziņģis provided them with additional size and floor-spacing, and so far he has helped the offense reach another level.

It's wild. This offense still looks a little clunky, but already looks better than any other recent Celtics offense
Celtics' offense is so lethal 😭

Joe Mazzulla’s squad will look to make it five straight games with 100-plus points on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets. Considering Brooklyn is 23rd in defensive rating through four games, the Nets could be in for a long night.
