Chapter 627: Silence is Golden_3

This situation is especially suited to receiving a lesson from a strong team.

The Clippers, eager for a holiday, didn't show any courtesy.

They went full throttle from the start of the game.

Due to the Clippers' terrifying three-point threat, the Celtics had to adopt extreme defense—like, giving up two-point defense to strictly guard the three-point line.

As a result, attacking the basket became incredibly easy for the Clippers.

"We've reached the point where we're willing to give up some two-point shots, even baskets, to prevent corner threes," Celtics' young commander Brad Stevens told ESPN. "The disruptive power of three-pointers in turn nurtures the space for two-point shots."

However, these remarks couldn't make the Clippers reduce their firepower.

The resisting Celtics ended up being thrashed with 146 points.

Yu Fei, Antetokounmpo, and Jokić each tallied 30 points.
