The Utah Jazz defeated the Boston Celtics, 98-86, at TD Garden on Saturday night.

The Jazz (8-8) had battled inconsistency since the start of the season, but they managed one of their more complete performance in a difficult road environment. Utah got a combined 48 points from their starting backcourt duo of Ricky Rubio and Donovan Mitchell and held the Celtics (9-7) to 38.2 percent shooting, including an unsightly 15.2 percent from three-point range. The third quarter was the launching pad to the win, as Utah held Boston to just 17 points.

Mitchell spearheaded the Jazz with a game-high 28 points, a total he supplemented with six assists, three rebounds, three steals and one block. Rubio tallied 20 points, four rebounds, two assists and three steals. Rudy Gobert totaled 12 points, nine boards, three assists, two steals and one block. Derrick Favors generated matching 10-point efforts from the starting five and bench. They pulled down eight and seven rebounds, respectively.

Kyrie Irving led the Celtics with 20 points and added eight rebounds, one assist and two steals. Jayson Tatum was the only other double-digit scorer for Boston with 10 points, and he added seven rebounds. Al Horford filled out the stat sheet with nine points, six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal. Guerschon Yabusele led the bench with nine points of his own.

The Jazz next visit the Indiana Pacers on Monday evening, while the Celtics hit the road as well and face the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.
