Warriors Scalp Celtics (11/26/46)

There will be no relief coming for the Boston Celtics as they were utterly dominated in tonight's game against the Philadelphia Warriors. The Warriors bolted out to a 29-22 halftime lead thanks to the efforts of Angelo Musi and Howie Dallmar. The Warriors took a 40-31 lead going into the fourth quarter with the Celtics fighting back. The Celtics were led by Connie (15 points) and Johnny Simmons (14 points) but after that, it was all downhill. Tony Kappen had 10 but it wasn't nearly enough. The Warriors dropped the Celtics to 1-10 on the season with a 66-54 victory at Philadelphia Arena.

Final Thoughts:

Things keep getting worse for the Celtics as the season goes on. The Simmons brothers are only good for 14/15 points apiece and they don't have a legitimate scoring threat to match other teams' best players. It adds up to them losing almost every game because they don't have any scorers. "Jumpin" Joe Fulks was held to six points and it didn't matter because Gray and Chuck Connors combined for 1 point combined. Defensively the Celtics are middle of the pack but they might be the worst scoring team in the BAA.
