The Celtics center from Portugal was nearly flawless, shooting 10-for-14 from the field while adding three blocks and no turnovers in 27 minutes. His 17 rebounds included 10 offensive boards, helping Boston secure a victory that extends their recent hot streak to five wins in six games.
Queta's performance, which Jaylen Brown called the best of his career, continues his remarkable transformation from a fourth-string center last season to one of the NBA's most reliable big men. The victory moves Boston to 40-20 on the season, with Brown contributing 27 points and eight rebounds, and Derrick White adding 21 points in support.
