The Celtics' sent a clear to message to the rest of the NBA

The Boston Celtics secured their best win of the season on March 25, defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder, 119-109. Both Jayson Tatum (19 points and 12 rebounds) and Jaylen Brown (31 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists) shone throughout the game, playing two-way basketball and getting whatever they wanted on the court. Defeating the Thunder, who are the reigning champions, was proof that Boston is still a contending team in the NBA.

Tatum has steadily improved since returning from injury earlier this month and is now playing at an above-All-Star level. Defeating a Thunder team that boasts the best defensive rating in the NBA was certainly a statement from Joe Mazzulla's team. It would appear the "DFlowHoops" YouTube channel agrees.

The host recently released a video explaining why Boston's win over Oklahoma City was a message from Boston to the rest of the NBA. The video dissected how the Celtics implemented their game plan and why their level of production is a sign of things to come once the postseason is underway.
