The Celtics held a pretty commanding lead throughout this one, being up 20 at multiple points throughout the night but that is not how it ended. While it may have been a pretty ugly 4th quarter, the Celtics pulled out a 6 point win on the second night of a back to back. Similar to last night, we got great performances from everyone in our starting lineup. Tatum had another very efficient night and was getting downhill to the basket a lot which is great to see. Schroder and Smart held it down again and both had great nights. Marcus, while he didn't shoot well, impacted the game on the defensive end but was also distributing at a very high level. Schroder was the #2 scoring option tonight ending with 29 points  and we also saw another solid performance from Grant Williams (14pts 8reb on 4-6 shooting from 3). After scoring 28+ in the first three quarters, the offense certainly slowed down in the 4th and we saw their defense fall apart at times but a lot of that might just be fatigue and tired legs after playing last night against the Lakers. Either way, this is a solid win where the Celtics moved the ball effortlessly assisting 28 times on 41 makes and you just have to love it.
