Celts reveal new wrinkle in abortive late-game surge?

The best news at the conclusion of a mediocre (but promising) Western swing was Kemba Walker’s ability to rejoin the team for the trip home.

But the Kemba-less C’s also left an interesting final impression while mounting a frantic, albeit futile, comeback attempt in Friday’s Q4 at Denver.

It’s been a “good minute” – probably back to when KG and KP ruled the roost, maybe Sully when he was healthy – since our heroes have been perceived to have any dominant or intimidating inside presence.

But somehow, some way Brad’s bodacious ballers managed literally to double (20 – 10) Denver’s “In the Paint” point production during the game’s closing 12 minutes.
