The Celtics came out tonight on a mission. They started this game up 28-2 and everything was working as beautifully as we've seen all year. The defense was stifling as the Celtics forced 7 turnovers and there was excellent ball and player movement creating easy open shots. Besides a very small run from Brooklyn that brought this game down to 11 at one point in the second, the Celtics held a pretty steady 20+ point lead in this one. JB and Smart were the two storylines today. JB ended with 22pts 7reb and 9ast and Smart added in 22pts on 6-13 from 3 and neither of them played the 4th quarter at all. This marks the 6th straight win for this Celtics team which pushes the Celtics over the Nets in the standings and tied for 6th with the Raptors.
