Key Moment
Brad Stevens yelled to the Celtics early during the second quarter, “You aren’t giving any effort!”
His players heard his claim and responded.
Boston was full of effort the remainder of the night, as it battled back from 15 points down at the 7:10 mark of the second period to tie the game at 58-58 just seconds into the third quarter. Shortly thereafter, Isaiah Thomas canned a 3-pointer to give the C’s a 61-60 lead, their first since being ahead 2-0 at the start of the contest.
