The Utah Jazz will lock horns with the Boston Celtics in an NBA regular-season game at the TD Garden on Wednesday, March 23.

The Jazz head into this game after a disappointing defeat to the Brooklyn Nets. Despite trying their best in the fourth quarter, the team failed to get the better of the Nets. KD scored 37 points, while also making nine rebounds and eight assists. Bruce Brown also stepped up as he scored 22 points to help the Nets get to a 114-106 win.

Young guard Ter Mann put on a show by scoring 35 points on 61.9% shooting from the field, but his effort was not enough to stop the Celtics, who took a 132-123 win.
