1. This was a big win for the Celtics. In many ways, this win was just as important as the blowout victory over the Warriors the night before. This is the exact type of game Boston has lost this year. They come up with a monster effort and everyone says “That’s the team we thought we were getting!” followed by a lackadaisical performance and a loss to a team they should have beaten. It was far from perfect, but that almost made it better. The Celtics haven’t had a grind-it-out win over a good team on the road in a while.
