Sound the alarm. The Celtics, playing without Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis, lost to Steph Curry and the 7-1 Warriors. Time to panic.
But seriously, the best way to move forward after a tough loss is by, well, moving forward. The Celtics (7-2) will get a chance to bounce back when they host the sneakily solid Nets (4-4) on Friday at 7:30 p.m.
The game may not carry quite the same pizzazz as the one before it, but the Nets are no joke. They’re currently tied for third in the Eastern Conference and play a fast, fearless style of basketball.
