Over essentially the span of a half, Brooklyn went from down 28 to up 12 – and, to put it exactly, a 77-37 run over a 23:30 span.
A truly remarkable turnaround, especially considering Brooklyn had lost four in a row coming into tonight. – 9:42 PM

Jacque Vaughn is historically against mid-range jumpers that come from anyone not named Kevin Durant.
Mikal Bridges is not Durant — even if that was his favorite player growing up — but his muddy is clearly money.

Halftime: Celtics 64, Nets 55
Brooklyn shoots 15-for-23 in the second quarter and storms back into a game it once trailed by 28 – thanks in large part to very, very sloppy play by Boston.

Horrible 2nd quarter for the Celtics. They were up 51-23 with 7:23 to go in the quarter. Then the Nets rip off a 32-13 run to cut it to a 9-point game. 64-55 C’s lead at halftime. Mazzulla probably ripping their defense right now. – 8:46 PM

Halftime: Celtics lead the Nets 64-55. Strong finish to the first half by the Nets. DFS beats the buzzer on an up-and-under from Dinwiddie. Royce O’Neale has 10 points off the bench and has played well as a small-ball center despite the mismatch. Mikal Bridges with 21 points. – 8:45 PM

Greetings from TD Garden. Nets-Celtics tip shortly. Last time the Nets were here was Feb. 1, which marked Kyrie Irving’s final game as a Net. That game was over a few minutes in. Hopefully tonight is more competitive. Updates to come. – 7:32 PM

Kyrie Irving played his final game for the #Nets about one month ago. Since then:
111.5 OR (22nd)
120.3 DR (27th)
-8.8 net rating (28th)
3-8 record
This has been one bad team. #Celtics – 7:30 PM

So I weigh advanced metrics slightly less in the 6MOY race than I would for, say, MVP.
They still matter though, and the numbers are picking up on something significant with Quickley. This is a real race.
But I lean on Brogdon on efficiency, playmaking and versatility. – 6:53 PM

For instance, the Celtics are worse when Brogdon plays, but remember, the minutes Brogdon plays are often the minutes that Tatum and Brown sit. That makes his job much harder.
It’s the same reason perimeter defenders shouldn’t get blamed for team D-rating in DPOY debates. – 6:51 PM
