Winners of six straight and eight of their last nine, the Boston Celtics have finally found their footing in the Eastern Conference. With a record of 31-26, they are tied for the fourth seed with the Atlanta Hawks.

With only 15 games left in the regular season, each matchup matters that much more for seeding purposes. As of Sunday night, the fourth and eighth seeds in the conference are separated by a minuscule 2.5 games. One bad week for the Cs, and they could find themselves fighting in the play-in.
