Kendrick Perkins on the Celtics’ Game 2 win: The Celtics answered the test of not only playing a postseason game without Jayson Tatum on Wednesday, but also the Magic’s physicality en route to a 109-100 Game 2 win.
ESPN analyst and former Celtic Kendrick Perkins summarized Boston’s win in simple terms.
“That’s why I’ve got them picked to win,” he said of the Celtics being his NBA title prediction. “They’re deeper than the Atlantic Ocean.”
“The Magic tried to do everything in their power, from mucking it up, to getting physical, to some dirty plays,” Perkins said.
