Overview
- Boston beat Toronto 115-101 at TD Garden on Sunday, with Jaylen Brown scoring 26 and Jayson Tatum adding 23 points and 13 rebounds.
- Nikola Vucevic returned from surgery on his right ring finger and logged 13 minutes with four points and four rebounds after a month out.
- Starter Neemias Queta continued his surge at center with 18 points on 9-of-10 shooting and seven rebounds while anchoring the paint.
- With Vucevic active, the Celtics had their full roster for the first time this season, and Joe Mazzulla said the next five games will help acclimate him and define roles.
