It’s New Year’s Eve and most people are writing resolutions or going to gatherings with family and friends. The Spurs started the party in San Antonio by beating the Boston Celtics.
The Spurs improved defense was markedly missing as the Silver and Black seemed slow on switches and defenders stayed too far off three point shooters. The Celtics got 6 of 17 from beyond the arc. As mentioned in the preview, Kyrie Irving and company can hit 3 pointers. Bryn Forbes, Derrick White, and Davis Bertans gave those shooters too much space and they took advantage.
