      The Celtics made NBA history Wednesday night.

      Boston beat the Brooklyn Nets by a whopping 50 points, scoring a 136-86 victory at TD Garden. The laugher gave the Celtics two 50-point wins this season, with the other coming Nov. 1 against the Indiana Pacers.

      Only two other teams in NBA history earned multiple 50-point wins in the same season: the 1978-79 Milwaukee Bucks and the 1992-93 Sacramento Kings.
