I know they were a transcendent team this season but it’s still weird as hell that it’s actually playing out that way in the playoffs.
They took some serious punches tonight. Dallas finally locked in on D in a way they hadn’t all series, knowing it was their last shot (kudos to Kidd, he’s probably doing everything he can), and Celtics obliged a bit getting too stagnant and sticking with Pritchard a couple possessions too long. To pull that out is just amazing.
I can’t believe Luka fouled out but it’s really his own fault, he took at least two really cheap ones on Celtics defensive rebounds IIRC, the offensive foul maybe could’ve been a no-call but it was great D by Jaylen. AND he was really absurdly lucky not to be called for the open field tackle on Jaylen. Jaylen did a great job on the last drive to give the refs no choice.
