The Utah Jazz stole a road victory at TD Garden on November 3, edging the Boston Celtics 105–103 in a closely contested matchup. Jayson Brown led Boston with 36 points while Paul Pritchard added 18, but the Celtics' 41.6 percent shooting and 11 three-pointers proved insufficient. Utah's Keyonte George paced the visitors with 31 points, supported by Lauri Markkanen's 20 points, as the Jazz shot 45.2 percent from the field and dominated the glass with 55 rebounds to Boston's 36. The decisive third quarter proved pivotal—Utah outscored Boston 38–26 in that frame, a 12-point swing that ultimately decided the contest. Despite Boston's 12 steals and 21 assists, the Celtics' 107.1 defensive rating betrayed their defensive struggles, while Utah's 18 turnovers were offset by their rebounding advantage and 23 assists. The Jazz's road win signals their ability to compete in hostile environments and strengthens their playoff positioning.
