After failed experiments at MEM and NYK, Celtics return to form vs. Pacers / Green Stats analysis
Green StatsThe stats tell a story about the Celtics' last three games that can be best understood this way:
The coaches knew that the offense has been holding the team back (as opposed to the defense, which has been excellent).
So the team decided to focus intensely on offense, to see what happens. And they had a particularly good practice session just prior to the Memphis game, according to Brad Stevens.
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES:
In the Memphis contest, the Cs' offense did quite well, but the results of the game — Boston lost — were marred by some unusually poor officiating.
How poor? We counted 11 egregious referee errors plus 7 less-severe ones. That's a record for the season.(Refs' Grade: F.)
