Anfernee Simons had his best game of the season against the Pelicans, draining 3-pointers and looking like the scorer he's been throughout his career.

Boston went 61-21 overall and 39-13 in Eastern Conference games last season. The Celtics shot 46.2% from the field and 36.8% from 3-point range last season.

On this first play late in the third, Queta runs to Hauser, who’s in the corner, and sets a solid screen, forcing separation between Hauser and Jordan Hawkins. As Queta rolls to the rim, Derik Queen has to step up and slow down Hauser because of his shooting threat, and that’s an easy two.

The Celtics again started fast, and this time, they didn’t give up the lead. The C’s sprinted away with a 122-90 win over the Pelicans on Monday in New Orleans. The Celtics are now 1-3 on the year, halting their losing streak,
