For the Wolves, it would have been nice if the schedule gods would have brought Boston to Minneapolis a week prior. A week ago, the Celtics were without two of their key cogs; Al Horford and Jae Crowder. Last week, without Horford and Crowder, the Celtics coughed up a loss to the 2-9 New Orleans Pelicans and equally terrible Golden State Warriors. (That was a joke.)
Al Horford and Jae Crowder looked no worse for the wear in their return to the Celtics' lineup, Saturday night, after missing the previous nine and eight games, respectively. On Saturday, the Celtics got back on track in spectacular fashion when Al Horford tipped in a game-winning near buzzer-beater over Aron Baynes and the Detroit Pistons.
