This was definitely a big win for Boston. After starting the season off slow, they now have a record of 9-6. They are currently 5-1 when their newest free agent Al Horford is in the lineup. He was previously out after suffering a concussion during practice on October 30th. With Jeremy Lin still out with a hamstring injury, the Celtics took advantage of that, leaving the Nets now at 2-6 without Lin. Al Horford put up 17 points for the Celtics behind Jae Crowder's 15. Boston now has three straight wins. Sean Kilpatrick put up 23 and Trevor Booker scored 18 with 12 rebounds. Brooklyn has now lost five in a row despite the recent efforts.
