BROOKLYN – The Boston Celtics were tested in a multitude of ways Wednesday night in Brooklyn.

They aced their way to a 109-104 win.

Believe it or not, the obstacles began to surface way back during their trip to Europe, where the C’s played their first two preseason games. Illness seeped its way through the roster and finally found Marcus Smart, who was diagnosed with strep throat this week. Terry Rozier also suffered a left knee injury that will keep him out of the lineup for the foreseeable future.
