Sam Hauser made nine 3-pointers — seven in the third quarter — and finished with a career-high 33 points to lead the Boston Celtics past the visiting Utah Jazz 114-108 on Monday night.

Hauser became the fourth Celtics player to make nine 3s in a game in 2024-25, joining Jayson Tatum, Payton Pritchard and Derrick White — the first time in NBA history that four teammates have done that in a season.

Hauser’s hot stretch propelled the Celtics to a 23-point lead early in the fourth. The Jazz rallied to tie the game with 3:21 left, but Hauser’s final 3 with 1:20 left made it 112-104, and the Celtics hung on to win their fifth straight.

John Collins scored 28 points for the Jazz, who lost their sixth in a row.

NETS 111, LAKERS 108 >> Noah Clowney scored 19 points and host Brooklyn beat Los Angeles in the Lakers’ first game since losing LeBron James to a strained left groin.

Luka Doncic had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists for the Lakers, but he shot only 8-for-26. Austin Reaves was 3-for-14 as the guards struggled with James and other key frontcourt players sidelined.

The Nets snapped a seven-game losing streak.

Gabe Vincent scored 24 points for the Lakers, who had won eight straight before losing James in the fourth quarter of their 111-101 loss in Boston on Saturday.

James watched from the end of the Lakers’ bench. Coach JJ Redick said the Lakers were still determining how long James would be out.

HAWKS 132, 76ERS 123 >> Dyson Daniels scored 25 points and surging Atlanta beat visiting Philadelphia.

The Hawks had six players score in double figures. Zaccharie Risacher had 22 points and Terance Mann added a season-high 19.

Atlanta (31-34) has won three straight and four of five overall.

Quentin Grimes scored 35 points for the 76ers (22-42).

HORNETS 105, HEAT 102 >> Miles Bridges scored 35 points, Mark Williams added 24 points and 10 rebounds and visiting Charlotte beat reeling Miami.

It was the third time in March alone that the Heat lost a game after leading by at least 17 points — all those collapses coming at home. The Heat led New York by 19 on March 2, led Chicago by 17 on Saturday and led the Hornets by 17 in the first half.

Bam Adebayo had 23 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists for Miami, which has lost four straight and five of six.

RAPTORS 119, WIZARDS 104 >> Toronto native A.J. Lawson made seven 7-pointers while scoring a career-high 32 points, and he also had 12 of the host Raptors’ franchise-record 73 rebounds in a victory over Washington.

The Raptors (22-43) had four players with at least 10 rebounds in the same game for the first time in franchise history, and all had double-doubles. Their 73 rebounds are the most in the NBA this season.

Alex Sarr had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the NBA-worst Wizards (13-50).
