Your Morning Dump… Where the Celtics came up short in yet another ‘clutch’ game

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

The Celtics aren’t having their best season, obviously, but there’s a certain category where they easily lead the NBA: Clutch games played. Those are games where the score is within 5 points in the final 5 minutes. The Cs have played 39 such contests (unfortunately, winning just 16 and losing 23), comfortably ahead of – what a coincidence – the Nets, who are second with 35 clutch games under their belt (and a 25-10 record).
