“As soon as we started subbing, our intensity went downhill… For a team that’s played hard all year, we just didn’t try very hard. I thought Miles was very good and in terms of effort, it ended there.” – Coach Clifford

The Bulls shot 57.3% tonight and lost…by 11.
It’s the highest field goal percentage the Celtics have allowed in a win in a quarter-century…almost to the day.
The Charlotte Hornets shot 58.6% and lost at home to the Celtics on March 30, 1999. – 10:14 PM

Jalen Green took a hard foul on a dunk attempt. Officials give him a couple moments to gather himself. Foul was John Collins’ fourth, and he takes a seat with 25 points, matching his season high. Also, a career high without anyone saying the Hawks will soon trade him. – 9:42 PM

Spurs just as inept as the Hornets were last weekend but the Suns’ engagement levels are much higher. If they keep this up they’ll be blowing San Antonio out by the mid-third quarter. – 8:34 PM
