Coaches Joe Mazzulla and Jordi Fernandez spoke about limiting Boston's shots from 3 in their loss to Brooklyn on Friday night.

The Brooklyn Nets pulled off a shocking 113-105 road victory against the Boston Celtics on Friday, days after they fell to that same team in their own building.

The Boston Celtics aren't as feared as they were with Jayson Tatum, but rival scouts and executives say they are still a tough out.

Simons epitomized the reality in front of Boston for that Nets loss, and was not being offered as an excuse for how the Celtics played.

Nic Claxton had 18 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists for his first NBA triple-double and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Boston Celtics 113-105 on Friday night for their first victory in the NBA Cup in-season tournament.

The trio of Jordan Walsh, Josh Minott and Hugo Gonzalez have had their moments to open the season, which is a plus for the future.

Naulls was, with Bill Russell, K.C. Jones, Sam Jones, and Tom Sanders, part of the first all-Black lineup in the history of North American pro sports in 1964, and a key part of three of Boston's titles in their golden age of dominance in the mid-1960s. He averaged 10.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game with the Celtics -- rest in peace.
