    Celtics win the "bad shooting" game (Celtics Late Night)

    Celtics win the "bad shooting" game (Celtics Late Night)

    The Celtics shot 26% from 3 in Game 2 of the Finals AND STILL WON despite Luka's 32 points and 11 assists. Thankfully Jrue Holiday shot well, Jayson Tatum made huge plays, and the whole team defended well. Plus, an update on the Porzingis injury, Jaylen Brown's leadership, Joe Mazzulla's coaching flexes, and much more.
    We're joined on this one by Sam LaFrance of the How 'Bout Them Celtics Podcast.

    Three. More. Wins.

    Three. More. Wins.

    Kristaps Porzingis looked absolutely incredible in his return and NBA Finals debut, as the Celtics took a 1-0 series lead and are now 3 wins away from an NBA title. Jaylen Brown led the way, scoring aggressively and taking on the primary defensive assignment of Luka Doncic.
    What stood out for the Celtics strategically? Should we be concerned about the 3rd quarter lapse? Shat adjustments are likely for game 2? Plus, Tatum's "sneaky good" performance, Sam Hauser's re-emergence, and much more.
