The @Boston Celtics had three players record at least 12 points and 12 rebounds last night:
Jaylen Brown (26p/15r)
Jayson Tatum (24p/12r)
Robert Williams III (14p/12r)
The last time the franchise had three such players in a game was Dec. 8, 1989 (Bird, McHale, and Parish). pic.twitter.com/r7x9s9VCNm – 9:31 AM

Really good pass by Grant to Tatum on the block. Strong finish by Tatum for the and-1. That’s good basketball. – 8:19 PM

OK so Jayson Tatum nearly decapitated Robert Williams with what appeared to be a cross-court pass for Jaylen Brown. Rob is OK – 7:45 PM

Jayson Tatum just hit Robert Williams directly in the head with a hard pass and the ball caromed right out of bounds. Never seen that. #Celtics #Pacers

Jayson Tatum just threw a four-seam fastball off Rob Williams’ head. That’s normally not what you’re looking for in a PnR. – 7:45 PM

More on this storyline
The 19-21 Celtics have indicated to rival teams that they want to build around Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown — and have no interest to split up the two All-Star forwards right now, sources said. The 18-21 Celtics appear open for business around other players on the roster. Boston engaged with the 76ers before the season about a potential Simmons deal, but showed no inclination to move Brown. -via The Athletic / January 10, 2022
After Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown produced the first triple-double of his career in Boston’s 99-75 victory over the New York Knicks here at TD Garden on Saturday night, he shot down the idea that he and Jayson Tatum can’t have an effective long-term partnership. “I think we can play together,” Brown said after finishing with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists against the Knicks, who had stunned the Celtics two days earlier at Madison Square Garden thanks to an RJ Barrett banked-in, buzzer-beating 3-pointer. “We have played together well for the majority of our career and things like that. The last year or so hasn’t gone as expected, but I think a lot of the adversity that we’re kind of going through now is going to help us grow and get better in the future. -via ESPN / January 9, 2022
“If we get over this slump and continue to learn, I think there’s a lot of good basketball on the other side of this. I only can control what I can control. I understand everybody has to do their jobs, but me and JT talk. We talked after the game, communicated with each other and things like that. So we’re on the same page. I get where all the other frustration comes from, but as long as I’m on the same page with him and he’s on the same page with me, that’s where we’re most focused on. So tonight we wanted to come out and get a win and we did it.” -via ESPN / January 9, 2022
