Hey! A Win! The Boston Celtics took the second night of an Atlantic Division back-to-back on Tuesday night with a narrow 101-99 victory over the New York Knicks, and now the team is back to .500 at 26-26.
Man, what a depressing sentence.
Expectations were sky-high coming into the 2020-21 season, yet here we are with 20 games left to play in the second straight pandemic-shortened season and the Cs are sitting in the #7 seed.
And look, if there were six teams the Houdini thought were better than Boston, then this wouldn’t be such a dramatic narrative.
