CELTICS, WELCOME TO ROUND 2...GAME WON! ☘️

Back from Tacoma, ever sorrowful, playing is IT.
Spoke at his Sister's Service, back this a.m. was he.
Quick turnaround's better than exit talks, said AB.
Starters: Crowder, Horford, still Green, AB, IT!

vs Butler,  AB said he "..definitely won two battles in a row."
It's about respect! It was personal, as AB did show!
Gortat first score, Wiz 16-0 start, Cs 0 for...every C.
Green out early. First Cs score (after 4 min.)--3 FTs, IT.

5 1/2 minutes in:  Smart, steal! Hoop by AB!
IT FOR THREE! IT FOR THREE! 
Early Amir, Olynyk: subbing big, giving up pace.
IT handed his tooth to a trainer--ugh, we see the space.

Amir, two fouls. Gortat? Really? Offense and D.
Friendly bounce (so few), OLYNYK FOR THREE! 
Oubre, threes. OLYNYK FOR THREE! IT FOR THREE!
Playoff Olynyk! Quiet Horford. Not the best Q, each C.

Could be worse, scary start, Cs within 14 start Q2.
CROWDER FOR THREE! Cs, D. Horford breaking thru.
Cs Bench! Horford, assists! Smart's great in the post!
Cs quick (tho not big 😉), flyin' coast to coast!

Rozier! Horford, ball handling! SMART FOR THREE!
IT's tooth repositioned! Wall right at Smart, great D!
Olynyk, ovation! Cs, tied, on CROWDER FOR THREE!
Morris landed on Horford's foot, pain. Had to shoot the FT.

Horford--checked on Morris--of great character is he.
AB, Olynyk, 2 fouls. Rozier: Steal! Shot! Rebounds! D!
Horford, assists! AB! Gortat's still big. AB FOR THREE!
Cs ball movement! Horford, 2 fouls--lucky no T.

IT! Horford, (it's the playoffs, terrible) foul 3?? 
Smart, block! Crazy start, Cs within 5 start Q3.
Energetic Horford. Smart, in! Crowder, strip!
IT FOR THREE! Wiz, TOs. Cs, D, every trip!

Cs engaged! FIRST LEAD: CROWDER FOR THREE!
Oubre. IT, the playmaker! CROWDER FOR THREE!
AB, three fouls. IT! Smart, steal! AB FOR THREE!
Cs, passing, assists! Soft touch, IT FOR THREE!

Cs 34 points, 28 min.! AB, strip! CROWDER FOR THREE! 
Wiz, TOs. Rozier, rebounding! Gortat, gimpy is he?
AB, four fouls. SMART, BLOCK! Cs physical, great D!
36-16 we did see, Celtics up 15 end Q3!

Green, Jerebko, in. Cs sloppy--Smart, fouls three.
Smart, out, says he needs a sec, with Horford is he.
Wiz an 8-0 run. Called a jump ball is a steal by AB--
Q4, 5 quick fouls, Cs--not what Brad wants to see. 

Cs, cold, another four minutes no score. 
Til IT, crafty, flew the length of the floor!
Bogdanovic now? More Cs fouls? In, Fearless Brown!
Brad deciding (for now) not to keep Smart, Rozier around.

HORFORD FOR THREE! FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE!
Brad knows what he's doing! CROWDER FOR THREE!
Beal answering. Crowder, hustle! Horford! Cs, great D!
Shot clock running out, AB FOR THREE! Steal, AB!

AB, five fouls. Cs--franchise record--won last 3 Qs!
Amazing how Brad figures out rotations he'll use!
HORFORD almost a triple double, 33 points (high), IT!
CELTICS WON BY 12! What a Game we did see!
