The Boston Celtics’ recent bad news about Danilo Gallinari’s ACL injury puts more pressure on the team’s two primary stars, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, to finish games better than they did in the 2022 NBA Finals — and, truth be told, for quite some time before that.
The tendency for the Celtics to run out of gas late in games is not exactly a mystery to the team itself or their opponents. A representative of one such opponent sat down with Heavy’s Steve Bulpett to talk about that tendency in a recent interview behind a veil of anonymity.
“It doesn’t make sense,” said the anonymous scout and former NBA coach.
