was on Saturday for Jordan Crawford.
--He tied his career-best
plus/minus (+24).

his 5th career double-double and got to the line for a season-best 8
free throws.
*The Celtics’ 31
free-throw attempts on Saturday were their most in a road game in over a year.
*The Celtics had
a season-high 19 more shots from the line than their opponent on Saturday.

their biggest differential in over a year.
*On Saturday,
for the first time since April 2011, the Celtics committed at least 9 more
turnovers than their opponent and won the game.
*Al Jefferson has
played in just 5 games this season, but his best one came in his first career
victory against the Celtics.
--On November 13
at TD Garden, he put up season-highs in points, rebounds and free throws en
route to his only double-double this season.

still in the basement of the league in terms of Assist/Turnover ratio (0.99).

NBA history for a season: 0.948 by the San Diego Clippers in 1978-79.

early-season success against the Southeast Division:

wins this season have come against that division.
--The Celtics
have averaged just under 100 points per game against teams from that division
in 2013-14, which is the most of any division.

Crawford’s free-throw percentage ranks 10th in the NBA.
