Jayson Tatum had 32 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists to lead the Boston Celtics to a 116-103 victory over the visiting San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.

Tatum made 12 of 25 field goal attempts, including 4 of 14 from behind the 3-point arc.

Kristaps Porzingis added 29 points and six rebounds for the Celtics, who have won seven of their last eight games. Boston also received 19 points, seven rebounds and nine assists from Derrick White, and six points plus 10 boards from Al Horford.

Boston drained 18 of 55 shots (32.7 percent) from beyond the 3-point arc and outrebounded San Antonio 56 to 43. The Celtics had seven players who made at least two 3-pointers.

De'Aaron Fox led the San Antonio offense with 23 points. Victor Wembanyama had 17 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots, while Harrison Barnes added 14 points and seven rebounds.

The Spurs, who trailed by 24 at one point, forced 17 Boston turnovers.

The Celtics were without starters Jaylen Brown (knee) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder). Holiday's injury has caused him to miss the last four games.
