Amidst challenges, the Boston Celtics are carving out their place in NBA history, showcasing resilience and dominance on the court. Despite the absence of key players like Jayson Tatum, the Celtics are making significant strides toward clinching the top seed in the Eastern Conference while rewriting records along the way.
Setting Records:
The Celtics recently secured their 15th 25-point victory of the season, tying an NBA record for the most such wins in a single season. With 12 games remaining, they have ample opportunity to surpass this milestone and etch their names in the annals of basketball history.
Inching Closer to the Top Seed:
With each victory, the Celtics edge closer to securing the coveted top seed in the Eastern Conference. Their consistent performance, even amidst player rotations and rest strategies, underscores their determination and focus.
124-113, Final.
The Celtics have won nine consecutive games…with 8 different starting lineups.
The magic number to clinch the East top seed is 1.
The magic number to clinch homecourt throughout the playoffs is 6.
One of those numbers will drop tomorrow – OKC at Milwaukee.
