Brad Stevens said the Boston Celtics found something during their final run against the Philadelphia 76ers. It turns out that they found their identity and they finally played a full 48 minutes once again against the Washington Wizards. The Celtics finally had more than one player play well and Jae Crowder did not lie when he said the team found “togetherness” as they mounted a comeback against the 76ers.
For the first time since losing Marcus Smart, the Celtics looked like they do when he is playing. The defense initiated everything and they had their best game of the season with second chance opportunities.
