The Boston Celtics bounced back from their loss to the Los Angeles Lakers with an emphatic win over the Memphis Grizzlies.<\/p>\n
#1 Getting back on track<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Boston Celtics<\/a> had two days to stew over their loss against the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>. That\u2019s two days to watch film. Two days to sit with the underperformance and lack of effort. Some time to practice. And, most importantly, some time to rest and recover. <\/p>\nComing in against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Celtics knew they faced a similar trap game. Memphis will be without its primary rotation for the remainder of the season. They\u2019ve running deep bench and two-way guys as their starters and primary bench group. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s the type of trap game the Celtics would likely have preferred to avoid after their malaise against Los Angeles. However, Boston took care of business. They didn\u2019t allow themselves to rest on their talent advantage. They played hard, dove for loose balls, competed on the glass, and got high-quality shots from their preferred locations. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to make a statement win in these types of circumstances. You\u2019re expected to win. If you do, no one celebrates due to the disparity in talent. Lose, and you\u2019re going to have a rough few days. Fortunately, the Celtics won. They did what they were supposed to do. Now, they\u2019re back on track and heading into another two days of rest before facing the Atlanta Hawks<\/a>.<\/p>\n#2 Creating out of the post<\/strong><\/h3>\nEvery game provides something a little different. Against the Grizzlies, it was how the Celtics looked to play a three-man game with the post-entry passer, post-up player, and off-ball pass receiver. <\/p>\n
