Brooklyn Tough!: Nets beat up on “soft” Celtics in latest statement win
So you wanna be tough guys?
Just 14 games into the season, the five-time defending Atlantic Division champion Boston Celtics are not only looking up at the Brooklyn Nets in the standings, but looking up to them as a role model for toughness, resiliency and poise.
“They’re playing like we’re supposed to play,” said Celtics forward Paul Pierce after Brooklyn buried Boston, 95-83, Wednesday night in Beantown before a hostile crowd of 18,624 at TD Garden.
