In a resilient victory to end the Golden State Warriors’ 54-0 streak at home, the Boston Celtics showcased their great defense and potential yet again. This and more in the Week 23 NBA Rewind.
Week 23 of the 2015-16 NBA season gave us plenty to talk about. The Los Angeles Lakers have caused trivial yet worrying news with the infamous D’Angelo Russell-Nick Young drama, the Cleveland Cavaliers blew a 20-point lead and lost to the Houston Rockets, Blake Griffin finally returned, and the Boston Celtics did the unthinkable by defeating the Golden State Warriors 109-106 in Oracle Arena.
So, yes, there was quite a lot happening. Along with the usual everyday matters of the NBA now, such as Russell Westbrook and Draymond Green dropping triple-doubles everywhere, there are plenty of storylines to pay attention to as the season approaches its end.
Thanks to the Celtics, one is over as the Warriors’ losing an undefeated home record means that two teams won’t have claim to such an achievement for the first time in history. As the Spurs keep rolling at 39-0 in San Antonio, though, they could become the first team ever without a loss at home in the regular season.
