The Celtics haven’t faced many tests of adversity amidst a scorching start to the season, but they’re starting to show they possess resilient characteristics that can pay off down the road.
And on Monday, given the circumstances, they picked up one of their best wins of the young season.
The Celtics looked frustrated during the first half. Agitated by the officiating again, Joe Mazzulla got a technical foul as the C’s fell behind by double digits. But on the road, on the second night of a back to back without several key players, the Celtics didn’t fold. They emerged from the halftime locker room on a mission, and behind strong play from Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart and a game-changing third quarter, the Celtics pulled out an impressive 116-110 victory over the Raptors in Toronto.
