Next, the Celtics swung the ball continuously around the perimeter from right to left, running through all the pick-and-rolls, cuts, and screens.
In the end no opportunity appeared; when it went from Bowen back to Pierce, they actually turned it over again.
In the first two games, including the first half tonight, Beelman had been extremely restrained and chose to trust his players, but now he finally couldn't hold it in.
Ever since he came to the Celtics, he had cut out most of his habit of cursing like a sailor.
He was getting older, showed more respect for his players; kids these days have strong self-respect, too much cussing and too harsh sounds bad.
But the Celtics had 9 turnovers in the first half tonight, and they'd already committed 2 more as soon as the second half started—11 turnovers already!
They were about to have more turnovers than assists; was this really the same Celtics who had been smashing Glory in the first two games?
