It didn't take long for the action on the court to dispel any notion that it would be a dull contest. Or so we thought in the early going.

In San Francisco, the first of three stops on a West Coast swing, the Celtics led by 15 at the half and never looked back.

Jayson Tatum scored 22 points, Kristaps Porzingis had 18 and the Boston Celtics handed the Golden State Warriors their most lopsided home loss in 40 years with a 125-85 victory.
