Another Tale of Two Halves! The Celtics struggled in every sense of the word in that first half but managed to come out with a huge 114-107 Win to take a 2-0 Series Lead over Brooklyn. We went from giving up 65 points in the first half to allowing just 42 in the second half. The Defense truly clamped down and played exactly the way we know they are capable of. Offensively, the first half was stale. Very little ball and player movement and we were getting killed on the glass that limited our transition opportunities and gave the Nets extra chances. The second half was the exact opposite. The offense was buzzing and we got a lot of help from guys like Pritchard (10pts), Grant (17pts) and even Theis (15pts). Al Horford also looks like vintage Atlanta Hawks All Star Al Horford. He's playing at such a high level right now.
While both of the Jays really struggled from the field through 3 quarters where they both had just 12 pts after the third, they both turned up in the 4th. Tatum added another 7pts in the 4th alongside his 10ast for the game but it was Jaylen Brown who really stepped up in a major way with 10pts in the 4th including a couple unbelievable defensive possessions. They say this team will only go as far as the Jays will take them and if they play the way they did in the 4th quarter, the sky is the limit! The Road To Banner 18 Continues!
