While Blake Griffin has certainly seen a renaissance of sorts since joining Brooklyn, he still can't escape low-lights like this one. For Kemba, meanwhile, it should provide him a boost of confidence after a rather uneventful showing in Game 1.

In their previous showdown that saw the Nets win 104-93 and take a 1-0 lead, Kemba scored just 15 points on a horrible 5-of-16 shooting from the field and had only two assists. He also finished with the worst plus-minus (-21) on the team.

It remains to be seen if Kemba can find the momentum he needs to propel the Celtics back in the series, but it is certainly promising to see him pull off his usual moves that made him such a dangerous scorer when he was with the Charlotte Hornets.
