Takeaways Spurs: They are just 2/3 in five games with Fox. But getting some practice time together should benefit this new-look group after not having any during a six-game trip.

Celtics: After starting the new year 8-6, Boston has found a groove and heading into the break.

Key moment With Boston leading 105-91 in the fourth quarter, Porzingis was double-teamed by Wembanyama and Fox and flipped a no-look, over the head pass to Al Horford, who passed to Sam Hauser for a long jumper.

Key stat The Celtics improved to 17-10 at home after losing three of its previous four games at TD Garden.
