That's also what Scal is saying.

Makes sense as even the Brad Stevens teams of the past always end up playing at a slower pace in the playoffs.

Would be up 20 without him.

Considering we're -11 with him on the floor and leading 10 right now, you're right.

JB raising his energy on defense to get into the game! Nice spurt by him at both ends.

JB show early in the 4th.

Making shots, making defensive plays, and making the pass.

Excellent!

Nice call by Joe to not give up on JB.

Celtics mastering the half court offense will help in late game execution.

That's the reason why Miami is always better in the playoffs than the regular season, they're very good executing when the game slows down and it's down to half court offense.
