Oklahoma City Thunder vs Boston Celtics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 25, 2026

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 33 points and eight assists powered Oklahoma City to a competitive road effort, but it wasn't quite enough to overtake Boston's balanced attack in a second-half shootout that blew past the pregame total. The Celtics won 119–109, combining for 228 points—6.5 above the 221.5 market line.

The first half moved methodically, with both teams posting 51 combined points in each quarter for a 102-point halftime total. Boston trailed early behind Oklahoma City's 31-point opening frame, then settled into a grinding pace through Q2. The decisive rupture came in the third quarter, when the teams exploded for 69 combined points—the game's high-water mark—as Boston's Jaylen Brown (31 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists) and Jayson Tatum (19 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists) seized control. Despite Oklahoma City's continued offensive pressure, Boston maintained its edge through a 31-point fourth quarter to the Thunder's 26.

The game reflected Boston's recent defensive ceiling—allowing 107.0 per game over its last ten—getting tested by Oklahoma City's league-leading offensive pace (116.1 scored per game). Their earlier head-to-head matchup had been a low-scoring affair (206 combined), but tonight's second-half acceleration, driven by Jaylen Brown and complemented by reserve Payton Pritchard's 14 points, proved the deciding factor. DAGGER leaned over, and it cashed.
