Oh yes. Watched the 1st half and thought it may be a loss. But lo and behold
the Celts struck late in the 4th buoyed by the play of Rogers, Strickland
and Waltah. Of course Pierce did his thing. So did Toine :>( Anyway just
another win. I remember the Bird era, the Celts came on late in the 4th also
most of the time. Funny, most teams look better organized than us, but we
manage to unravel them somehow. Maybe it's defense.
