[Silas]

Our bench was great tonight.

[SCeltic34]

Really solid win.  Not a great 4th quarter, but the win is what counts.

Great win. We shot like crap, but we won it with our defense. That's the most engaged and energetic defense I've seen from this group for quite some time. Excellent statement win that we're still the class of the East. Now need to do it again on Saturday in New York.

[Goldstar88]

Good win. TP?s all around!

4 in a rowww

[mobilija]

That?s a good win. Coming out of our funk a bit, showing pride

[Atzar]

Strong road win.  Kept them at arm's length all night despite Tatum and KP struggling from the field and JB mostly invisible after the first quarter.

DW has put together a strong stretch of offensive basketball over the last couple of weeks.  Good to see.

[Silas]

Al  +19
Sam +18
PP +18
Luke +10

Lol the +/- for this game are hilarious. Outside of Tatum (a whopping 0), all starters were a - and all bench players were a + 10 or better. Crazy!

[blink]

great win Celtics!!  DWhite cooking in the 4th.
Held on at the end.

Not sure why JB didn't go back in, maybe the lineup had a good flow?  Not sure.

Pick up a game on the Cavs!  TPs for everyone!

I dont think i have seen KP miss soo many shots but he battled and got some free throws...even if hes missing his defender is going to push him because hes sooo tall.

Looks like the Celtics will hang on. I don?t think either team played all that well.

Agreed, love the win but thought both teams were bad, Celtics got up 20 and could?ve/should?ve steamrolled them from there but they did everything they could to let a Cavs team not even playing well stay in the game

Did you really think the Cs would steamroll the Cavs once up 20?  I didn?t think that for a second.  Cavs were ice cold.  I wouldn?t have thought the Cavs would steamroll the Cs if they were up 20 early.  Good teams recover - most of the time.

Agree pretty crazy, although our bench played great.

DWhite is pretty much our lynch pin. When he plays/shoots well we win.
