Boston Celtics beat Memphis Grizzlies 131-95 at TD Garden on November 12, 2025.
The Boston Celtics showcased a commanding performance against the Memphis Grizzlies, securing a decisive 131-95 victory at TD Garden. This win not only extends Boston's lead in the series to 2-0 but also highlights their ability to bounce back after a recent loss. The Celtics entered the game with a home record of 6-7, while the Grizzlies struggled with a 4-9 record on the road.
In their last ten games, the Celtics had a mixed record of 5-5, but they were coming off a narrow loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, where they fell 100-102. Despite this setback, Boston averaged 113.0 points scored and allowed 109.4 points during this stretch. Their recent form at home has been a bit inconsistent, with a record of 2-2 in their last four home games.
Conversely, the Grizzlies have been facing challenges, particularly on the road, where they have a 1-3 record in their last four away games. Their recent form shows a record of 3-7 over the last ten games, with an average of 112.9 points scored and 117.0 points allowed. Memphis was on a two-game losing streak leading into this matchup, having lost to the New York Knicks 120-133 just a day prior.
Historically, this matchup has seen the Celtics lead the series 2-0 for the current season, with their previous encounter resulting in a 117-103 victory for Boston on March 31, 2025. The teams had previously met earlier in the season, where the Celtics lost 121-127 at home on December 8, 2024.
In terms of injuries, both teams had key players listed as day-to-day. The Celtics' Jayson Tatum was dealing with a knee issue, while the Grizzlies had several players in a similar situation, including Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe), Walter Clayton Jr. (knee), Karim Lopez (undisclosed), and Jaylen Wells (toe). Additionally, Richie Saunders was ruled out due to a knee injury.
The market had priced the Celtics as heavy favorites, reflecting a home win probability of 1.0, indicating strong confidence in their ability to secure the victory. The conditions at TD Garden were conducive for a strong home performance, and the Celtics took full advantage.
As the game unfolded, the Celtics exhibited a well-rounded offensive attack, leading to a comfortable margin of victory. The scoring plays highlighted a mix of three-point shots and free throws, with notable contributions from players like Ron Harper Jr. and Jordan Walsh in the fourth quarter, further extending their lead.
Overall, this matchup not only underscored the Celtics' dominance at home but also raised questions about the Grizzlies' ability to compete effectively on the road, particularly with their current injury concerns. The Celtics will look to build on this momentum, while the Grizzlies will need to regroup as they navigate a challenging season.
