After avenging a loss to the Warriors, Celtics' Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum gave Warriors and Team USA coach Steve Kerr the cold shoulder when he tried to chat with the two Boston stars.

The Celtics have not looked like contenders for the majority of the past month but that changed on Monday against the Warriors. Jayson Tatum led a balanced scoring effort from the defending champions as the visitors crushed Golden State 125-85 in their biggest road victory of the year.

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.
