Boston came to half-time with 23 of advantage (72-49). So in the second half Boston was limited to enjoy the rest of the game. With dunks, alley oops and triples they delighted the people at TD Garden. There was no chance for a Wolves that tried to fight face to face against this incredible Celtic on the first quarter. After that, they holed the line and did the best they could.
One of the best players of the local team, Jayson Tatum, said this on the post-game: “It was a true journey. We had to fin our identity as a team and leave some teammates to incorporate others. We had to fight to be here, but it was fun. There were some difficult moments, but definitely that has made us better“.
On the other hand, Timberwolves have gotten involved in troubles. They are now out of Playoffs. So they will have to fight to a place before the season is over.
