COMMENTARY
The Boston Celtics were dealt yet another blow to their depth when they announced that Jaylen Brown would miss Friday’s game with knee soreness, but the remaining players rallied for an important 119-115 win over the Los Angeles Clippers despite a 16-point first-half deficit.
Here are five takeaways from a gutsy Celtics win.
Kemba Walker had a big second half.
After Walker struggled against the Lakers last Saturday, a large portion of Celtics fans seemed ready to give up on him.
In the first half on Friday, Walker appeared to be on course for another bad performance against a very good team.
