The Celtics love to hunt matchups that they feel are advantageous to them.
They hunted Luka Doncic so much in last year’s NBA Finals that Dallas coach Jason Kidd said the former Mavericks superstar had a bullseye on his chest.
They search for 2-on-1 situations, opportunities to space the floor and move the ball around for open shots, and players who may be a weak link on the defensive end of the floor.
On Sunday, the Celtics attacked Denver’s Jamal Murray. They are far from the only team to do so.
