Highlights: Kyrie, Harden outduel Tatum, C's in first post-ASG game

Share

The Boston Celtics had a four-game winning streak heading into the NBA's All-Star Break.

Unfortunately, they couldn't keep it going against the Brooklyn Nets.

Though the Nets were without Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden put on a show for Brooklyn. Irving had 40 points against his former team while Harden had a well-rounded stat-line, posting 22 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists during the game.

Meanwhile, the Celtics got a good game out of Jayson Tatum, who put up 31 points, while Marcus Smart added 19 points in his first game back from a calf injury that had sidelined him since Jan. 30.

Jaylen Brown had a rough return to action after the break, as he only shot 5-of-23 from the field during the game.

Here are the highlights from Boston's loss:
