Celtics Show They Can Play Defense Too
Boston trails Phoenix 1-0 in the NBA finals as Boston’s defense shines in a 98-87 win. Injuries to Havlicek and slow fast-break pace have slowed the offense while Celtics defenders have stymied Phoenix, holding opponents under 100 in 10 of 13 playoff games. Havlicek played 40 minutes and scored 16 as Scott and Cowens work to regain form ahead of Game Two.
