The key to victory for the Boston Celtics isn't much of a secret: it's good ball movement. The Celtics are 6-2 in games they assist on over 60% of their made field goals. But they're only 3-5 when they assist on 60% or less.
The Celtics unsurprisingly score more points when the ball is flashing around the court. In those games with over 60% of assisted field goals, they score 107.5 points per game, compared to just 97.5 points per game in the others.
"We gotta play as a team. We did a really good job of that tonight on both ends," Brad Stevens said after Boston's supremacy over Washington.
