Let’s hear it one more time into the mic:
After defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the play-in tournament, a raucous Barclay’s Center erupted with a “We Want Boston” chant with the Celtics waiting in the first round as the #2 seed.
On the final day of the regular season, the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers sat a majority of their key rotation players with playoff seeding still in play and a potential date with the Nets. Boston, however, didn’t duck Brooklyn and secured home court advantage through the first two rounds with a blowout in Memphis and matchup with the team that eliminated them last year.
