With a ridiculous 1.289 points/possession the last 14 games, the Celtics (13-1) not only have the NBA’s #1 offense, but the most efficient offense in league history.
The gap between them and #2 Miami over those 14 is larger than the gap between #2 and #12 Indiana – 6:55 PM

McDermott is out with a right calf strain.
“It’s unlucky,” Carlisle said of an injury that’s sidelined Doug the last two games, “but we are happy to have him.”
The Spurs know that feeling first-hand.
“He is really respected, loved, great teammate,” Pop said. – 6:35 PM

Warriors lose in Boston 140-88. Lopsided end to the eight-game road win streak. It’s a 3-1 trip. They’re 32-28. Upcoming homestand: Bucks, Bulls, Spurs. – 5:50 PM

Source confirms Kendall Brown is signing a three-year deal with the Pacers. @wojespn first. Pacers are using the room exception to give him slightly more than his minimum salary for the rest of this season.
Minimum salary the next 2 years & non-guaranteed, team option 3rd year. – 5:23 PM

The Indiana Pacers are converting two-way G/F Kendall Brown on a new three-year deal, sources tell ESPN. Brown was the 48th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. pic.twitter.com/bDfIMgXCuP – 5:17 PM

With Philadelphia’s win over Dallas they have pulled even with the Knicks at No. 4 in the East — so pending result of Knicks game here in Cleveland could either hang on or drop to 5 (and Indy is playing in San Antonio later, too) – 3:49 PM

The #Rockets (26-34) have completed the toughest part of their schedule. With 22 games left, they have the 5th easiest strength of schedule remaining. 8 of their next 11 games are against the Spurs (twice), Wizards (twice), Blazers (twice), Bulls and Jazz. – 2:09 PM
