When a team sets a franchise record of any sort it’s a big deal. When that team is the Boston Celtics, with the most legendary history in NBA basketball-if not all sports-it’s particularly significant. On Sunday night the Celtics defense decimated the Milwaukee Bucks en route to a 87-56 blowout triumph. The 56 points scored by the Bucks was the lowest permitted by a Boston team since the NBA started using the shot clock in 1954. Milwaukee set a franchise record of a more dubious variety-their offensive output was the lowest point total for a Bucks’ team in history.
