The Celtics beat the Nets 103-92 on an impressive night from Jaylen Brown. This was probably one of our worst offensive performances of the year but, fortunately for us, it was also probably our best defensive game of the year. Jaylen Brown started the game scorching hot and scored 20pts on 6-7 from the field and 5-5 from 3 in the first quarter and ended the game with 34pts 10reb 2ast 2stl and 4blk all while turning the ball over 0 times! It was the most complete game we have seen from JB in a long time and it was much needed because while his running mate Tatum did score 29pts in this one, he turned the ball over 9 times and was not himself.
The two glaring issues to me in this game were the turnovers and the ball movement. With no Marcus Smart, the offense was not itself. The ball and player movement was almost non-existent as we only tallied 18ast which is 9 shy of our season average. We also turned the ball over 17 times allowing 18pts off those turnovers as well. On most nights where you see that stat line, it results in a loss. Tonight, however, the defense stepped up and also forced 15 turnovers including 8 from Durant. This was, in my opinion, the best we have looked defensively all year and it came against one of the best basketball players in the world in Kevin Durant. Mazzulla came into this game ready to double team Kevin Durant over and over and it worked beautifully in this one forcing tough shot and tough play all night long and ultimately was too much. This is a good win and a great way to start our 6 game road trip! Celtics play again tomorrow night against the Toronto Raptors.
