The goal for every team in the playoffs is to steal a game on the road and that is what the Celtics did in Game 1. Tonight was a very different story in a very embarrassing loss but the last fact remains true. The Celtics took back home court advantage. People want to blame this on the refs and I'm not going to sit here and say they were good but this is 100% on the Celtics. They gave up 33pts off of 19 turnovers. You are never going to win a game playing like that. This was a weird game because the Celtics came out and played pretty well in the 1st quarter but the wheels fell off shortly after.

Tatum, despite having 28pts, was a team worst -36 while having 4 turnovers and failed to get back allowing easy buckets. JB came out firing and had 13pts after the first on 4-6 from the field and then ended the game with just 17pts on 5-17 from the field meaning he shot 1-11 in the last 3 quarters. Horford, who led the team in scoring in Game 1, only had 2pts tonight and it was also pretty apparent that Timelord is still not right. Marcus Smart also struggled today scoring just 2 pts on 1-6 from the field with 5 turnovers. It's a tough loss for sure but it's time to head back to Boston and defend home court now.
