The Boston Celtics entered this matchup having won eight of their last nine games against the Brooklyn Nets, and that streak of dominance continued on Tuesday.
The Celtics opened up this contest with three straight buckets out of post-ups, which has been a point of contention among certain circles on social media lately.
Coincidence? Perhaps…
Boston is one of the most efficient teams in the league in those situations, and that trend continued early as part of a balanced offensive attack by the Cs. They operated with intention in transition early, racking up a bunch of easy baskets.
