The Celtic defense has been dominant so far in the ECF, and they are just a couple wins away from knocking off LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
The Boston Celtics are growing up right before our eyes. We thought their injury-plagued regular season and first round adversity meant they weren’t ready to compete, but it turns out those challenges prepared them far better for this moment than we expected.
The Celtics took care of business at home and are up 2-0 as they travel to Cleveland for Game 3 on Saturday. Through the first two games, Boston had their share of highlight dunks, silky crossovers, and pull-up threes, but the catalyst behind their dominant start has come on the other side of the ball.
