The Boston Harbor New Year’s Eve fireworks display carried over into TD Garden Wednesday night, as the Celtics opened up 2019 with a bang.
And another bang.
And another bang.
Boston dropped shot after shot against the Minnesota Timberwolves, setting a new season-high by shooting 59.2 percent from the field, en route to a blowout win.
The Celtics’ most impressive offensive stretch came right in the middle of the second quarter, as they turned a four-point lead into a 20-point lead in less than six minutes of game action.
Boston led 31-27 at the 9:23 mark, before ripping off a 16-0 run to bury the Wolves.
