They defeated the Golden State Warriors 120-99, taking full advantage of the injury issues Steve Kerr is being forced to navigate. Joe Mazzulla’s team dominated on both sides of the ball with some stellar defense and expertly executed offense. During his postgame news conference, Kerr spoke glowingly of the Celtics.

The nine-time NBA champion (five as a player, four as a coach) admitted that he’s been impressed with the work Mazzulla and his coaching staff have been doing, while also admitting the Celtics are a genuine threat in the East. “When we played them a month ago, I was just blown away by how good they were, the spacing. The execution, they got good shots over and over again,” Kerr said, via CLNS Media.

“They played so well together, and that was without Jayson even. And I just think the continuity of what they've built has carried over so that, even with all the departures, they still know exactly who they are. Now they get Jayson back.
