With new parts trying to coalesce to start this season, the Boston Celtics have learned a ton about their team identity through the first four games, especially in Wednesday night’s 116-105 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, in which the C’s erased a 19-point first-half deficit.
“We’re tough,” said Kemba Walker, who notched 32 points for the second consecutive game. “We’re not going to shy away when things go wrong. We’ll win as a team and we’ll lose as a team.”
The Bucks, who dispatched the C’s rather easily in five games in last year’s Eastern Conference semifinals, had their way with Boston after a dreadful opening 24 minutes from the Celtics.
