C’s tired
The Celtics are 14-1 at home, but Doc Rivers warned that this could be an especially difficult game for his team.
“This is a difficult game for us, coming off that [4-game, West Coast] trip,” said Rivers. “You could see it in shootaround. Guys looked pretty tired. This is going to be one of those nights, a good challenge for our mental toughness.
“I think the New Year’s Eve thing probably didn’t help, too. They looked beat this morning. They looked tired. We had to get through our shootaround, and it was not an easy one to get through. And we haven’t had that problem very often.”
