The Boston Celtics added to their winning ways Monday night, as they handled the New Orleans Pelicans at home without much trouble. Perhaps a Celtics team that has title aspirations should be expected to take care of business against a .500 team at home. That said, this game was a throw back to the “Hospital Celtics” of old, with six players unavailable for the Celtics. Three of the DNPs were Celtics’ big men and all three of the Celtics “max contract” players were unavailable. There was also an MVP candidate in town, and Anthony Davis poured on 41 points in the Garden, typically something that results in a win for the NOLA birds.
