Does the Boston Celtics beating the Golden State Warriors by 40 points tell us anything about the team? After a rough six or so weeks beginning around Thanksgiving, the Celtics are starting to look like a contender again on some nights,

Jayson Tatum scored 22 points and the Celtics handed the Warriors their most lopsided home loss in 40 years with a 125-85 victory on Monday.

The Celtics entered the game 8-8 in their last 16 games. But on the first of four stops out West, they led by 15 at the half and never looked back.
