Jayson Tatum led the Boston Celtics to a 116-103 victory over Victor Wembanyama and the visiting San Antonio Spurs

Victor Wembanyama, a 7-foot-5 French superstar, took on the defending champion Celtics. Here are a few thoughts on what went down.

Facing the reigning NBA Champion-Boston Celtics, Victor Wembanyama likely needed an incredibly strong outing on both ends to give his team a chance at pulling a victory, even with De'Aaron Fox in the lineup.

Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis proved too much for Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs on Monday in Boston.

The Celtics are looking to finish strong before the break as they’re 38-16 heading into the game against the Spurs. They’ve had issues at home, though, as they’re 16-10 at TD Garden this season. San Antonio brings in a 23-28 record, along with All-Star big Victor Wembanyama and new acquisition De’Aaron Fox into the matchup.

With the All-Star break so close, the Celtics are just trying to keep themselves together. Ahead of their game against the Spurs, star player Jaylen Brown has found himself on the injury report. Brown is listed as questionable due to right knee swelling.
