The Thunder are the league’s second-worst 3-point shooting team but they’re eighth in 3-point attempts. The ball will be flying tonight, and the Celtics need to turn those long misses into transition opportunities.

If this sounds familiar regarding Jaylen Brown and Rob Williams, well, you know. Ime Udoka: ““They’re looking better, feeling better, hoping to have them back soon. Nothing long term, but just being cautious still. They’re not 100 percent, so we’ll keep them out tonight.” – 6:32 PM

Utah is 2+ without a point, but leads Boston College, 57-55, at the under-4.
It’s been a sluggish, defensive-minded game both ways. – 6:26 PM
