Celtics low assist numbers may be exposed in playoffs

Any weaknesses that an NBA team may have are often exposed during the intense play in the post-season. The Celtics assist numbers are an obvious problem. They rank 21st in assists per game with 22.0/game. The Golden State Warriors are tops with 30.5 assists/game. That is quite a gap.

Boston's top assist guy is point-center, Al Horford, at 5.3 per game. He is followed by Kyrie Irving at 5.0 and Marcus Smart at 4.
