It finally happened. The Boston Celtics claimed their first victory of the season with a 122-90 beatdown of the New Orleans Pelicans. Here’s what stood out.
The Fourth Quarter was therapeutic.
After three games of pain, Celtics fans finally got something to be excited about in this fourth quarter. Monday’s game was looking like it could end the same way as the three prior, until the Cs went ballistic and buried the Pelicans.
New Orleans had cut Boston’s lead to just five when the Cs responded with an emphatic 20-2 run. It was like they were taking an entire week of frustration out on the hosts in the Big Easy.
