The Boston Celtics secured a solid 113-99 win over the Nets on November 18th, but this was a game of two halves. The Celtics started slow, falling behind by 10 points early before rallying to tie the game at the end of the first quarter. Despite shooting lights out in the first half (61% from the field and 51% from three), Boston went into the break with only a 62-61 lead, largely due to sloppy play, giving up 12 turnovers that led to 17 Nets points and allowing 22 fast-break points. We’ll dive into the early struggles and the team’s high-octane but messy offensive performance that kept the game tight through the first 24 minutes.  

The C's ultimately pulled away with a decisive defensive effort and clutch individual performances in the second half. The turnaround started early in the third quarter thanks to the defensive spark from Derrick White, who delivered two steals and a crucial block to put the team ahead. Jaylen Brown took charge offensively with 17 third-quarter points and put the game out of reach with a late dagger three in the fourth. The team’s defense was lights-out in the final frame, holding the Nets without a field goal for over seven minutes. Join us as we break down the key adjustments, White's all-around play, and the standout contributions from the entire roster that secured the 113-99 victory!
