That will be the lineup to get Brooklyn home on Sunday. That five has only played 161 possessions together, but they’re a cumulative +32 in that time. How have they been that good? The defense, actually. Per Cleaning the Glass, that group is allowing a 2006-like 95 points per 100 possessions to opposing offenses. Again, small sample size; a few missed threes rolling in changes that number significantly. But that group, for now, is creating turnovers (16. 6% TOV rate) and grabbing boards (21. 7% ORB rate).

Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors Game 3: How to watch, live streamBoston Celtics (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images) The Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors face off for Game 3 on ThursdayThe Boston Celtics have yet to lose in the postseason, easily sweeping the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round and two games perfect in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the defending champion Toronto Raptors. Game 2 started off with a hot performance from Robert Williams III, who closed the game with 11 points. Williams was present on the defensive end and extremely active running at the rim for offensive rebounds, a much welcome size addition for the Celtics who have sorely missed that at the five all season long.

On the topic of 3-point shooting, maintaining strong 3-point accuracy is one of the major keys for victory in Game 3. Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Marcus Smart have been electric all postseason long. A win on Thursday would make it an inconceivable hole for the Raptors to have to dig out of, and place the Celtics one step closer to the Eastern Conference Finals in the Orlando bubble.
Late in the game, Marcus Smart was the hero, rattling off several clutch shots to close the game. Smart hit five 3-pointers in the final frame and closed the game with 19 points on 6-of-13 shooting from beyond the arc. The Cs had great perimeter defense in Games 1 and 2. So far, the Celtics are forcing the Raptors to shoot just 26. 3 percent from beyond the arc in this series, a far cry from their fifth-best 37. 4 percent shooting in the regular season this year.

They certainly did on Friday night, vs. Toronto. If they can do it vs. Boston on Sunday, it could lead to Brooklyn’s best win of the season. Realistically, this is a tall task vs. a team coming off a rare loss, facing an opponent who means juuust a bit more, while losing the injury report battle. A valiant loss that Nets fans can be proud of would be acceptable, if not a tad disappointing. But it’s a sign of how Brooklyn has turned things around under Jacque Vaughn.

From a 2-6 start, they’re a half-game out of the East’s 4-seed. They’re on a real win-streak for the first time all season, despite injuries. Yes, it’s all been at home and included some soft opponents, but you play who’s in front of you. The fact that a regular season match-up in early December is this exciting for purely basketball reasons can only make you smile. A month out from the peak of the chaos, that may sound melodramatic. But we really weren’t sure if we’d see these Nets get to this point in a regular season again. Sure, there’s still a lot of work to do. Brooklyn could - and is expected to - lose this one and drop to just a game over.

Raptors Vs. Celtics Live Stream: Watch NBA Game OnlineThe Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics lately have been heading in opposite directions, but Wednesday’s matchup at TD Garden still is pivotal for both squads.

The Raptors have gone 4-6 in their last 10 games, while the Celtics have been on a roll and are 7-3 over that same span. Both teams have had injury issues recently, too, as DeMar ReRozan won’t play Wednesday night for the fifth time in six games, while the Celtics played all but three games in January without guard Avery Bradley.
