And that followed a 103-99 victory over Cleveland that went UNDER by 22 points. The Celtics used balanced scoring as six players scored between 13 and 18 points, and Boston held the Lakers to a .425 field goal percentage. This is a high posted total due to the Phoenix defense, which allows 112.6 points per game, however, Boston holds opponents to an average of 105.4 points. The Celtics are 10-1 UNDER against Pacific Division teams, and they have gone UNDER their last four games when their opponent comes off a 100-plus points game. Take the UNDER.
