All the excitement, energy and hype of Friday in Boston was long gone on Saturday in Charlotte. At least in the first half. But the second half brought back the intensity of the Warriors game, and this time the Celtics got the huge win, 98-93.
Obviously, it was a great bounce back effort after a bitter loss, but then again the Celtics always manage to win road games on the second night of a back-to-back. This was their ninth straight in that situation.
The key sequence was with 1:08 left in the game and Boston ahead by one.
