IN A NUTSHELL Moving right along: Terry Rozier started alongside the current usual starting suspects of Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, Marcus Morris and Al Horford. Midway through the second frame the Celtics had already brought the contest into blowout territory—60-42 in Boston’s favor at the half—but a reinvigorated Minnesota squad came out on fire for the third frame and brought the margin to a mere six points behind the home team.
Since Kyrie Irving is injured in both eyes, he’s now officially Tiresias from Greek mythology, right? Like that’s just something that happens; I think it’s stipulated somewhere in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. (Not to mention he isn’t injured in his third eye, but unfortunately he can’t use that to help them on the court. Or can he…)
