The Celtics overtake the Wolves with a 118:115 road win

Posted on by Amelia Pressman

The Boston Celtics defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road 118-115. With the win, Boston improves to 12-3 away and 25-9 overall.

This game consisted of two main themes. On offense, 3-point shooting was the motto. Minnesota and Boston combined to shoot 43 of 96 from distance. This was a crucial lifeline for Boston’s scoring attack, especially after a slow start. But defense was just as important for the Celtics. In total, the boys in green forced 15 turnovers, which was a key factor in the Wolves never being able to get comfortable. Nevertheless, this case went through to the end.

Check out the best plays captured in footage from Thursday’s game, a 118-115 road win for the Celtics.
