Celtics lock down defensively, beat Pelicans 104-92 to get back in the win column

For a moment there, it appeared the Celtics were at risk of a season-worst three-game losing streak, but a switch flipped in the second half and Boston battle back for a 104-92 win in New Orleans.

They trailed the Pelicans by double-digits early on and by 9 at the end of the first quarter. But, a strong close to the second quarter – capped off by a buzzer-beating three-pointing by Derrick White – propelled the Celtics to a 59-57 halftime lead – their first of the game.
