Anatomy of a comeback: How a furious stretch set up the Celtics’ game-winner in Utah

COMMENTARY

“How did they manage to pull that off again?”

That question, maybe with varying degrees of volume and a few added words we can’t print here, has been asked by Celtics fans since about midnight.

The Celtics shouldn’t have even been in Wednesday’s game against Utah, nevermind have a chance to win. Half their team was out due to injury, and they were finishing up a Western Conference road trip against a team desperately trying to hold onto a playoff spot.

You know the situation. We all did. Utah did too. They’ve seen the shorthanded Celtics do this time and time again.
