While it might not be the sort of epic showdown we have seen in seasons past between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics, the two teams are still almost evenly matched with Boston at 10 wins and 8 losses and Golden State at 11 victories to 9 lost games.
And though both teams would prefer to be doing better in the standings, they’ll have to win this contest to start building the moment they need to start climbing the standings again. The Dubs and the Celtics will be without key players, but don’t let the absences — or the late start time — let you think this is a contest to skip.
Redick, Ball: These aren’t the guards you’re looking for, move along https://t.co/T8pbk3wKB3
