After a bad loss to the Houston Rockets, the Boston Celtics will enter Wednesday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a point to prove. With multiple players working their way through a slump, Boston isn’t the fearsome prospect they were earlier in the basketball calendar, and as such, teams will feel confident in their chances of getting a result.
Still, we know what this Celtics team is capable of. We’ve seen how easily they can dismantle teams when they’re hitting their shots and making smart decisions. However, the Timberwolves aren’t an easy out, so if the Celtics want to snatch a victory in this game, they will need to put in the hard yards.
