Celtics Accomplish Rare NBA Feat With 50-Point Victory Over Nets
It might be a bad omen, though
The Celtics made NBA history Wednesday night.
Boston beat the Brooklyn Nets by a whopping 50 points, scoring a 136-86 victory at TD Garden. The laugher gave the Celtics two 50-point wins this season, with the other coming Nov. 1 against the Indiana Pacers.
Only two other teams in NBA history earned multiple 50-point wins in the same season: the 1978-79 Milwaukee Bucks and the 1992-93 Sacramento Kings.
Interestingly, neither of those teams qualified for the NBA playoffs. The Celtics, owners of the NBA’s best record at the All-Star break, likely won’t suffer a similar fate.
Nevertheless, let this be a reminder that destroying inferior teams during the regular season doesn’t necessarily equate to playoff success.
