Three takeaways on the Celtics’ 115-105 Game 7 victory over the Wizards, which I presume gets Brad Stevens off the hot-seat …
The vast majority of the 18,624 fans and other assorted folks who entered TD Garden Monday night probably presumed they would witness something interesting and memorable. It was a Game 7 after all, and as Isaiah Thomas reminded us after the Celtics’ loss in Game 6, this is when legends are made.
I do not believe many among those 18,624 fans expected to witness Kelly Olynyk’s legend being made. Yet when his night’s work was done, the performance under pressure by the usually laconic Canadian was so impressive and necessary that fans were chanting his name in delirious unison.
