Golden State, chasing the best record in NBA history, hadn't lost a home regular season game since Jan. 27, 2015.

Then Evan Turner and Jared Sullinger entered the picture.

The two former Ohio State All-Americans combined for 41 points to help lead the Boston Celtics to a 109–106 victory over the Warriors at Oracle Arena in Oakland Friday night.

Sullinger pitched in 12 rebounds – and an impressive 2-2 showing from downtown – while Turner added five rebounds and five assists. Isaiah Thomas led the Celtics with 22 points.

C's up!!!
