[blink]

with the exception of a couple questionable shots great 1st half by JB 16/6/3 on 60% shooting, and only 1 turnover.

OMG what a dunk by JB
he is dunking machine lately!!!

His overall poster and big dunk count this year already rivals some big name guys' career highlights.

[Celtics Mike]

Very strong 1st half performance from the Celtics.

[blink]

ok repeat that 1st half again in the 2nd, with preferably the knock out punch in the 3rd....

Point differentials at the half for IST.

Magic: +22 (3-1)
Knicks: +27 (2-1) @ half winning +9 vs Hornets
Cavs: +9 (2-1) @half winning +3 vs Hawks
Nets: +16 (2-1) @half winning+8 vs Raptors
Bucks: +36 (3-0) @half losing -3 vs Heat
Heat: +14 (2-1) @half winning +3 vs Bucks

Celtics: +19(2-1) @half winning +19 vs Bulls

If the Nets beat the Raptors the c's can win their group by having a higher point differential than the Magic and Nets. If the Nets  lose their game the Celtics would need to have a higher point differential than any other team that finishes 3-1.

The wildcard will be hard to get with New York's point differential, unless Charlotte can somehow keep it close.

They technically can finish behind one 3-1 team from Group B, because a 3-way tie between Miami, NY, and Milwaukee means the highest point differential of those three teams is the group winner.

Keep the foot on the pedal and run that score up!

[SCeltic34]

Strong left handed move by Brown.

[jpotter33]

Two passes too many. JT should've shot that.

[celticinorlando]

Tatum has been bad tonight

[jpotter33]

Come on, JT. You have to do better with your passes. That's 4 TOs already tonight.

[SCeltic34]

Not a good quarter so far.  Only bucket is JB's layup.

[celticinorlando]

Third quarter slide starting early tonight. Need to stem this run
