Boston's offense was able to generate a respectable Offensive Rating in Sunday's game in Brooklyn, despite the amazing machinations of a trio of refs patently determined to control the outcome of the game. The Celtics' defense, however, could not withstand the 8v5 attack, and ended up with an abysmally poor Defensive Rating for the game — equivalent to the worst defense in the league — despite the Cs' status as the 2nd-best D in the NBA coming into the game (with some authorities listing BOS as #1).
If you didn't know, could you guess which amazingly potent offense did this to the Celtics' league-leading excellent D?
