Last night was the second worst outcome. Worst was a blowout the other way.
Am I hanging too much on a regular season game? Yes probably. But it's a signature win that glosses over how bad some aspects of this team have been, after a game they won because, let's be honest, Boston was just uncharacteristically awful. I would have preferred seeing them win a competitive game or at least one where Boston had things going.
If it's some kind of spark plug I'm all for it. But I can't shake the itch that this team is headed for the same drubbing by Miami or Indiana again. They just seem so soft on the defensive side.
