Ime Udoka doesn’t seem thrilled with the Celtics defense. They’ve lost track of some guys here with a mostly reserve group on the floor. – 8:11 PM

Celtics settling just a little too much against Detroit zone. Defense has been OK but Detroit hitting 3’s. Just need to dial it up a little.. get the ball into the middle a bit more and get some easier looks – 8:09 PM

Boston is an East-best 17-6 in 2022. Their +13.2 net rating leads the NBA by nearly 3 points.
Their defense, both overall (100.4 defensive rating) and filtered for half-court situations (85.9), is roughly 4 points better than anyone else’s.
