Good lord, that defense.
as Slate’s NBA playoffs correspondent I refrained from extensively discussing the Boston Celtics–Brooklyn Nets 2–7 series for a few reasons, but mostly because they’d only played one game, and it would have been reckless to attempt to draw conclusions from such a small sample size, especially in a matchup of such formidable teams that’s so rich with potential implications. Now they’ve played two games, though, which means it’s well past time to recklessly attempt to draw some conclusions.
But the Celtics kept doggedly peeling themselves off the canvas and had closed the gap to 10 by halftime, then to 5 by the end of the third.Then the fourth quarter happened, and a shifting tide became a pummeling wave. The Celtics outscored the Nets 29–17 in the fourth, and it wasn’t even as close as that sounds. They held Brooklyn to five field goals on 26 percent shooting, with two of those makes coming in the final minute, when the game was firmly out of reach.
