BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics returned from a 1-4 road trip looking for answers, trying to find the form that had them favored to win the Eastern Conference.
Now, two games into a three-game homestand that ends against the Utah Jazz Saturday night, some of the answers have been found.
After cruising to a win over the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night, the Celtics pulled out a 123-116 overtime victory over the Toronto Raptors Friday night at TD Garden.
The Jazz, meanwhile, suffered an embarrassing 118-68 loss at Dallas Wednesday night and then fell at Philadelphia 113-107 Friday to fall to 7-8 on the season -- and that includes a 123-115 win over the Celtics in Salt Lake City Nov.
