PFT CommenterAllowing a single player to score 50 points is a bad sign for the Celtics' team defense
It does look bad if somebody's putting up 50 on you. Not a great sign for the Celtics this year. Like, it does say something about team defense if one guy's able to do that against, like, five.
The Celtics finished the 2018-19 season with a top-10 defense (7th in defensive rating), suggesting this game was an outlier rather than a systemic failure.
