Boston tied the series mainly because of Horford and Jayson Tatum, who also had 30 points. Tatum had 13 rebounds and five assists while bouncing back from a poor performance in a 103-101 Game 3 loss, when he had 10 points and shot 4 for 19.
Tatum said the team remains confident in the best-of-seven series. The Celtics are 3-1 at home this posteseason.
