Celtics WIN!
No JB, no KP no problem
JT, White played great
Good defense for 1 quarter was enough

Shooting wise, easily one of our worst defensive performances. 52/55/94 splits? Good thing we forced so many TOs. 16 more shot attempts than Wolves though they had a ton of FTs compared to us.

Remember bitch boy Edwards talking **** about Tatum during the summer lmao. Love JT’s response earlier in the season saying he seems to always win against them and yet won against Edwards once more even with no JB and KP on the road

It was a gritty win but they need to build on it. Back to back tomorrow again. Still taking too many 3s for my liking but they went 22-57 which places them at 38.6 percent.

Porzingis might come back in February. The guy is made out of glass. I thought he would be ready for this road trip

Down 2 starters no less against a tough Minny team at home. Helluva win tonight. Minny gave us everything they had.

Don't be fooled by this JB and KP injury stuff.

If this were a playoff game, I'm sure both players would have played.

This season the Celtics are taking player management to the max.

If you have a cold, you don't play!
