BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics take the TD Garden floor for their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night as the first-place team in the Eastern Conference for the first time in six years.
After their win Monday night moved them to within percentage points of the first-place Cleveland Cavaliers, the defending NBA champions lost (badly) at San Antonio to give the Celtics the conference lead for the first time since March 22, 2011.
"I want this to be a special season for our team," Avery Bradley said Tuesday.
