A flawed dance: inside the trial and error of the Irving and Horford read-and-react game

In a thrilling 115-111 loss to the Warriors, the Celtics reinforced things they know about themselves while showing themselves that despite the slow start, this roster can compete with anybody. The results didn’t work in their favor, and that was a result of many things such as unfortunate bounces and mental errors that aided the Warriors in beating them. One of the most unexpected drawbacks was the Kyrie Irving and Al Horford “read and react” offense that had some rough results down the stretch.
