1. This was a physical, chippy game and the Boston Celtics didn’t shrink from the moment. As a matter of fact, Boston hasn’t shrunk from the moment when playing the Golden State Warriors since they became the WARRIORS. The Celtics have won six of their last seven road games against the Warriors in either their new or old building.
After falling short against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, this was a more complete game. The defense was even better than it was against Dallas, which is saying quite a lot. And the offense turned things way up in the second half in this victory.
