BOSTON — Remarkable though it seems, from the various aches of Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown through the return of Robert Williams, the Celtics are expected to be at full strength for Game 3 following Smart’s upgrade to probable.
And in the case of Williams, the just-completed three-day break means three more days of developing timing and losing the rust following his recovery from left knee surgery.
“Very impressed with how Rob tackled this setback,” Al Horford said following Friday’s practice. “He was the first one in here every day, working on his body, working on different things — conditioning, just doing what he could to help us. He knew how much we needed him, and I was just really impressed with his consistency.
