The Boston Celtics were in Atlanta last night and made sure to close the game as early as possible so they’d be in shape to vote the next day. Facing a fast-paced team with energetic players, the Celtics showed they can adapt to their opponents.
1. Best transition game of the season
Looking at the Celtics’ double-big lineup against the high-speed Atlanta Hawks, I was worried the Celtics wouldn’t keep up. But it was quite the opposite.
After a slow start, the Celtics became more aggressive, creating turnovers. Per Cleaning the Glass, 20% of the Hawks’ possessions ended in turnovers.
