On the road again
It’s no secret the Celtics went 0-3 on the road in their first round series against Atlanta (it may be a secret to Cavs coach Mike Brown, who seemed puzzled by the home-road question by my colleague Julian Benbow in his press conference). But everyone knows the Celtics have yet to win a playoff game on the road.
They’ll try to change that Saturday night in Cleveland.
“We talked in the locker room after the game,” said Celtics forward Kevin Garnett. “And the mindset is one [game] at a time. We want to focus on trying to get this first win in Cleveland. We talked about some of the things that worked tonight, obviously ball movement, rebounding, communication, and then our defense obviously has to be there. We are going into a hostile building and we know that they play really well at home, they have a lot of confidence at home, and they play with tremendous energy at home. Easier said than done, but some way some how we have to carry this energy over and take one game at a time.”
