Assists Per Basket Down in Texas

As we head into games three and four of this brutal road trip, it is worth noting that the Celtics have won the last two games despite the fact that they are only averaging slightly more than 15 assists on 36 baskets. Over the season, the C's are averaging more than 22 assists per 36 field goals.

We've seen this before where the Celtics share the ball less effectively on the road than they do at home.

I'd like our chances of winning the next two games more if we could get our assist totals above 24 or so.

Interestingly, the Celtics tallied only 13 assists on 33 baskets in the earlier game against Dallas. Dallas posted 20 assists in that game, and also outrebounded (40-37) and outshot (44% to 43%) the Celtics.
