1. The Boston Celtics have kicked off a weird six-game east-to-west road trip. Boston needs to keep stacking wins, should they hope to run down the Milwaukee Bucks for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics got things off to good start with a win at the Atlanta Hawks.
Was it a perfect performance? Not really. But it was good enough. When facing a decent team on the road, you take wins however you can get them.
Boston’s offense was very good all game. The defense locked in for the middle periods, as the Celtics took control of the game.
