The Boston Celtics rallied from down 17 to take a commanding 2-0 lead against the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs with the 114-107 win. Jaylen Brown sparked in the fourth quarter to push the Celtics ahead for good, finishing with 22 points. 7 players scored in double figures for the Celtics. Kevin “won’t shoot 9-for-24 again” Durant scored 27 points on 4-for-17 shooting with 6 turnovers.
This game was really, really weird. It opened up on a 9-0 Bruce Brown run, and the first quarter ended on a 9-0 Grant Williams run.
