00:00 It's hard to know if Sunday's result of the Warriors-Celtics game in Boston is more a
00:08 reflection of the state of the Warriors or the state of the Celtics.
00:12 Probably the latter.
00:13 The Warriors had been real hot.
00:14 They'd won eight straight games on the road, which was very impressive.
00:16 But they got steamrolled by Boston 140 to 88, so bad that Steve Kerr pulled all of the
00:22 starters at halftime.
00:24 Jalen Brown was in the thick of things.
00:26 He scored five points in the first 30 seconds, had 19 within the first seven minutes, and
00:32 finished with 29 points.
00:34 Boston had a 44-point halftime lead, its largest ever in the NBA.
00:40 And this is a team that has dominated the NBA for decades.
00:44 And they were spectacular.
00:46 20 assists, one turnover in the first half.
00:50 They made 15 threes in the half.
00:54 The Warriors for some reason seemed to be content letting Jalen Brown take three pointers.
00:59 And he made five of them in just the first quarter, three of them in a span of 40 seconds.
01:04 So the Celtics have the best record in the NBA.
01:07 They're expected to challenge for a championship this year.
01:10 Jalen Brown continues to play like this.
01:12 That certainly won't hurt.
