Twenty four minutes into last night’s game, the Celtics looked like they were going to blow another game to the Magic. But fueled by an expletive laced Brad Stevens halftime speech, the Celtics went on to win the game, 95-88. Here’s some things I liked and didn’t like. UP 1. Evan Turner  Evan Turner had [...]

After a big win against the Miami Heat, the Celtics caught no breaks going up against the grind-it-out Memphis Grizzles.
