We just needed to do enough to win. And we got the win. Feels good.

I trust that we will get better. Tatum VC, White CP. Shouts to Q!!!

The Timberwolves shot 50/54/91, had more offensive rebounds than the Celtics and lost the game. That's hard to do.

GREAT Thread Title!!

Tatum for his Game and Gravity regardless of his last shot failure. Hauser and Queta get BIG Puffs for me. White made BIG shots BUT his taking 2 charges are HIGHLY underrated.

Also just one less 3 than us + 12 more FT makes. Turnovers were their undoing. And Jayson Christopher Tatum.

Great thread title
One of the best

JT and White played great. Queta was good and so was Hauser in the first half
Defense was good for one quarter
We need to find ways to score when JT or JB our not playing

On to the next

Great win. Down JB and KP, they shot 50%+ from 3 and they led FT/s 22-6(!). Still get a win on the road vs. a good team.

Wolves had 22 FTs to us 6.

Wolves got away with a heck of a lot hacking our guys too.

Wish Joe Mazz would say something about in his presser.

Regardless a fine if stressful to watch road win, JT and Buffalo get the votes. Queta was important late

Take the win. The team has been pretty up and down all year. Need a big defensive improvement when playoffs come around.

BTW, it goes unnoticed but Jrue had a hell of a game. Covered anyone on the court including Gobert and Randle. Throw in 8 assists with no turnovers + 2 steals just for kicks.

Just 6th instance of White taking 20+ shot attempts as a Celtic. C's 4-2 in those. 26/2/2/2 on 63.6% TS% is pretty good for faux #2 for a day.

This was a great win for Boston, considering they were down two starters.

Minnesota was on fire from three and the only real reason they lost was because of the turnovers.

I expect KP and JB back tomorrow

Someone needs to explain to me why Queta doesn't play more and definitely more than Kornet does. I keep saying *IF* Queta received the minutes and LOVE that Kornet does Numbers would be so much better. His impact is so much higher. To hell if he picks up an early foul or 2. He plays with so much energy + defense and has a clear better Ceiling.

Not wrong.

Hard to imagine losing a game after shooting 53.8% from three and also making 16 more free throws than the opposition.
