To contain the dynamic Ja Morant, head coach Ime Udoka didn't go to his First Team All-Defense candidate point guard in Marcus Smart or insert Derrick White into the starting lineup. Instead, the Celtics baited Morant to challenge their three-headed monster in the frontcourt. Per head coach Ime Udoka, he'd end up scoring "the quietest 38 (he's) ever seen," and for Boston, it contributed heavily to one of the team's biggest wins of the year.
On the latest episode of CelticsPod, hosts Adam Taylor, Will Weir, and Greg Maneikis discussed Thursday's big win and the eclectic three-man rotation of Robert Williams, Al Horford, and Daniel Theis.
