HMM, ROSE AND GARDEN IN THE SAME TITLE (again) 🎵🎶

Cs are in NY, the thrill of playing Christmas Day!
Dec., we've traveled 15,000+ miles, games away.
Having Family around (plane, in NY), Cs prioritize,
To deal with being away from them--sweet, no surprise.

This is our first Xmas Game since the 2012 season:
Brad, coaches, players--trajectory--part of the reason.
Clock running down, hard to the rim, first score, AB!
AB, steal!  Still bold, old pal (?) Courtney Lee.

Hard-driving Horford! Know who should know-uh?
Horford's 3-year college teammate, Joakim Noah.
IT FOR THREE! AB, D! Crowder hard to the hoop!
Horford! Love when the Celtics play as a Group!

OLYNYK FOR THREE! Per the clock (close!) IT no two?
Cs a sluggish (like egg nog) start, Cs within 6 start Q2.
Knicks TOs. Porzingis is big (7'3). IT FOR THREE!
Gerald Green, shot! Smart took a charge, brave is he!

Cs Fans been waiting to see: CROWDER FOR THREE!
CROWDER FOR THREE! CROWDER FOR THREE!
Amir, D! HORFORD FOR THREE! GREEN FOR THREE!
Over Rose, despite his D, SMART FOR THREE!

Cs, patience. Cs, D! Jawin' (?), Courtney Lee a T?
Better! Cs up 8 start Q3!
Wow! Horford LOUD dunk! He came to play!
Nine years in Atlanta, never played Xmas Day 🎄

IT FOR THREE! Horford and "Stay Melo" each a T?
"Stay Melo" did the talkin'; Horford, "furious" is he ;)
Horford, block (goal tend? nah)! AB FOR THREE!
Olynyk, heads up! "Stay Melo," more confident is he.

Ugh, Knicks a something-0 run. Flagrant on Rose?
Elbow to Smart's face--One or Two? Who knows?
Neither! Jerebko, D! Jerebko hard to the rim.
Impressed by the (intermittent) moves from him.

Cs 51% shooting (vs 48)! Cs up 6 start Q4!
GREEN FOR THREE! Love Brad trusting him on the floor.
Cs (IT) great ball movement! OLYNYK FOR THREE!
Jerebko was smacked! Knicks--O'Quinn--earned a T.

Great job GGreen! Amir! IT gets usual break mid-Q4.
He comes back with "how does he do that?" End Q4.
One of many fun days to be named "Holiday."
Rose looks more like Rose today than any other day.

Amir! 5 fouls. Horford, steal! Length of the court, IT!
Crowder, fouled. Cs rebounds! Knicks found their three.
Knicks something-0 run. Porzingis, "Stay Melo," tie.
SMART FOR THREE! It was IN when we saw it fly!

AB, Crowder, what D! Cs have The Zone in use--
No problem for "Stay Melo," from his (few) days at 'Cuse.
Horford, block--on Porzingis!! Game's emotional, but fun!
HO HO HO CELTICS!! BY 5 WE WON!

Hope your holiday was given a lift:
Thank you. CELTICS, for this perfect gift!
