Let this wash over your body:  After a grueling November schedule, the Celtics sit in 1st place in the Atlantic Division. Ignore the fact that this team is 4 games under .500 and the Eastern conference is the worst its been in 40 years. 1st place.

Led by Jordan Crawford’s 15 4th quarter points (3-3 3FG) and a clutch step back jumper by Jared Sullinger, the Celtics beat Milwaukee, 108-100.

The Green:

Crawford scored 25 points on 8-14 FG. How’s that for efficiency?

Jeff Green carried the team in the 3rd quarter where he scored 10 of his 18 points.

Courtney Lee had 11 points (5-7 FG) in his first game back from a knee injury.

The Gross:

The Celtics gave up 37 points in the 4th quarter. Fortunately, they scored 39.
