The Boston Celtics registered their first victory in the new NBA season, defeating the New Orleans Pelicans with a score of 122:90.
The team from Boston imposed its rhythm from the very beginning and showed complete dominance on the floor.
Bosnia and Herzegovina representative Luka Garza had a very notable role — in just over 19 minutes of play, he scored 16 points, with six rebounds and one assist.
His performance was one of the key factors in the away team’s sure win.

The Pelicans only managed to take a 3:2 lead at the very beginning of the match, but the Celtics quickly took control and did not allow the opponent to get back into the game.
The best scorer of the meeting was Simmons with 25 points, including six three-pointers, while Pritchard added 18 points. At home, Poole stood out with 22 points, but it was not enough to prevent a convincing defeat.
In the next round, Boston will face the Cleveland Cavaliers, while the New Orleans Pelicans face a tough challenge against the Denver Nuggets.
