The Boston Celtics took care of business on their home turf Sunday afternoon, as they managed to squeak by their Atlantic Division rivals, the Brooklyn Nets, in quite an exhilarating fashion.

Game One truly was an outing for the ages; one that saw all-out hustle, All-Star players making All-Star plays, and a last-second shot by franchise centerpiece, Jayson Tatum, that ultimately gave Boston the 115-114 victory and a 1-0 edge in the series.

Now, heading into Game Two, the shamrocks are looking to continue their winning ways by capitalizing on their home court advantage and attaining a 2-0 lead before heading on the road for a Game Three in Brooklyn on Saturday.

Obviously, if they wish to have a shot at achieving such a feat they’ll need to produce at a similar level to what they played at on Easter. However, being that the Nets are almost certainly going to come out of the gates swinging in hopes of tying things up, the C’s will also need a bit more from their guys to once again come away victorious.

Despite the fact that they played rather well as a collective and came away from opening night with the W, there still were some things left to be desired from their efforts and, more specifically, from the efforts of some of their players.

Should the Boston Celtics wish to take a two-game lead in this best-of-seven series tonight against the Brooklyn Nets, we at HH believe there are 2 talents that must step up on the floor:
