Last night, the Boston Celtics completed a dramatic comeback against the Oklahoma City Thunder, winning 101-95 after trailing by 16 points at halftime. You’ll have to excuse me if that statement brings about a sense of déjà vu. After all, almost exactly a year ago, on November 3rd of last season, the Celtics defeated the Thunder under similar circumstances, winning 101-94 after trailing by 18 at the half. Kinda eerie, right?
The Celtics’ offense has dramatically struggled in the early going, ranking among the league’s worst, but the second half of last night’s game provided some encouraging signs of improvement.
