Spurs Vs. Celtics: Boston, San Antonio In Close Game Late In Third Quarter
The Celtics are shooting better (60 percent to 53 percent) overall, though they’re a bit behind on three-pointers and way back on free throws percentage-wise (5-of-10 compared to 6-of-7). Everything else is, like the score, pretty even. As of now, Gregg Popovich has not pulled his starters.
