The Celtics finished up their two-game slate in Abu Dhabi with a blowout 130-104 victory over the Nuggets, improving to 2-0 in the preseason.
Here are the takeaways.
1. The Celtics are, of course, required by the NBA and the conventions of professional sports to play their entire preseason slate, but if there’s one thing Friday and Sunday’s games showed us, this team doesn’t need much of a warm-up.
That should come as little surprise – the Celtics have most of their team back and a ton of well-prepared stars at the peak of their powers.
