Brown driving then pulling the ball back gave Tatum that great look by drawing the defense over.
He's done this a couple times this game, great to see since that's what you have to do against good teams.
Why wont these shitters just DIE
ROLL OVER AND DIE! ITS THE 2ND NIGHT OF A BACK TO BACK FOR YOU!

More Celtics touched the ball on the Cavs possession than they did on the preceding Celtics possession.
Can't believe Garland missed that last three, but it seemed like Cavs finally ran out of gas at the end. Mitchell couldn't keep the heat going.
Maybe the Cavs ran out of gas at the end, but what I saw was clamps and top notch execution in the last 6 or so. Impressive.
Those two guards are tough, obviously. I felt they deserved this one, though. They did pretty well on the glass. Mostly good decisions on offense. I liked to see them mix in some different PnR coverages. A few too many TOs, but it's never going to be perfect.
26-26 from the line was big. Great to see that after a number of games where the stripe was less kind
Looking at the bottom of the East 1-8, there is no easy opening matchup series.
Except maybe the 8.
Ducks

KP and Tatum both with a 20-10 game, and 5 guys with 3 or more assists. Bench all has great +/- numbers. Strong win in the face of some really good performances. Allen is awesome on D.
Both Brooklyn and the Hawks stink. Either of those 2 teams gets dispatched in 5 easily.
Sure was odd that the Cavs didn’t try to extend the game with fouls.
Guess they figured we weren’t going to miss anyway.

I know they don’t want to go crazy jumping out on screens all game in December but it is kind of frustrating to see them play soft D the majority of the night and then blow the doors off playing more aggressive.
Edit: Good to know they can turn it up when needed, of course, but I just don’t really buy the “wow those guys just can’t miss!” stuff when they’re giving great shooters free looks so often.

Brooklyn in 8 right now but 7-8-9-10 dont matter anymore because of the play-in shit.
Late in the 3rd quarter the jumbotron froze for 3 or 4 minutes when the Cs went from losing to winning so to the crowd it looked like we were getting killed while we were taking control of this game
I think this team has the ability to fully concentrate for 5-10 minutes and basically turn a game to where the other team is basically done. I’m hoping they’re coasting a bit in the regular season and can turn it up a notch in the playoffs.. they seem to be making winning games sort of routine.. even when they start slow.
