You had to have some inkling that the Celtics were going to beat the Pels, given that the Cs have had a Top-5 defense virtually all season, while New Orleans' D is dead last in the NBA. So yeah, the Green wiped out the Pels... and in the process, reached #3 in the NBA in Net Rating*.
The Celtics' bench had a hard time (again) — but it hardly mattered. Boston's D, along with Isaiah Thomas' O and Sully's R (rebounding) and defense on Anthony Davis — all combined to ultimately turn this contest into a cakewalk.
