Although they let a 21 point lead slip away, this was a true team win for Boston tonight. Their defense held Memphis under 100 points, they tallied more than 20 assists as a team, and six players scored in double figures.
Ultimately, the Celtics avoided back-to-back losses and got back on track in Memphis with a final score of 102-93.
The Game Flow
Excuse the cliche, but the Celtics first half really was a tale of two quarters and there’s no better way of saying that. The first quarter they were facilitating the ball beautifully.
