The Celtics moved to the Barclays Center floor to get off to a good start following the break. Mission successful for the men of Ime Udoka who win an authoritative victory once morest the Nets.
For home stats from the Celtics’ demo, it’s right here.
With nine straight wins and an ever more sovereign defense, the Celtics made an impression at the start of February. Unfortunately, it’s when you think everything is going well that things go wrong and Boston was not long in realizing it. The little green men arrived at the break losing at home once morest… Detroit, fourteenth in the East. It’s what you might call a small black cloud in a big blue sky. The All-Star Game passed, so it was time to win back this night for the darlings of the TD Garden. For that, nothing like a good scapegoat to pass his nerves and Brooklyn had a good head for the role. How not to remember this magnificent match of February 9 and this image engraved in our minds: 2-28. As if that were not enough, Steve Nash’s players were still as weakened with in particular Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons but also newcomer Goran Dragic on the sidelines. All Boston forces once morest Team N of the Nets, that’s what promised blood.
Brooklyn fans can be reassured, the start of the game was less painful to experience despite Boston’s clear domination. Applied and solid defensively, the Celtics quickly took their opponents by the throat. If Brooklyn manages to save the furniture at first thanks to its attack, the franchise does not survive the new boost from the Jay Brothers. At the time of arriving at the last act, the meeting is folded and we already reach the 26 points difference. The end of the game allows the holders to breathe and send the end of the bench to do a little exercise. It’s a boss win for Boston, which has never been trailed and showed true mastery from start to finish. With Jayson Tatum as an effective attacking leader and a well-concerned group (28 assists), there are really good things to take from this meeting, even if it is only a wounded and weakened opponent. We are now waiting for confirmation and, that’s good, Detroit is on the program tomorrow. Nothing better to forget an embarrassing defeat than to beat up the team in question at home. Be careful though because the Pistons have just offered the scalp of the Cavs.
The Nets counted their injuries, the Celtics wanted to prove their strength, it smelt of unbalanced confrontation. Congratulations to the leprechauns, who lock their sixth place in the East a little more and who can now tickle the podium.
