Final Score: Boston Celtics 136, Brooklyn Nets 86
Yep. That’s the whole story from Wednesday’s game, the worst Nets loss since 1978, 46 long years ago.
No excuses. It was the final game before the All-Star break for both sides, and both had taken the short flight up from Brooklyn on Tuesday night. If there was to be any letdown, hey, the Celtics have a seven-game lead for the East’s one seed. And they were missing two key players in Al Horford and Jaylen Brown.
