The Boston Celtics are playing some of their best basketball of the season, and that is allowing them and the fans to put the brutal stretch before the All Star break behind them. The defense is back to where it needs to be, and the offense is the best we have seen this season. Things have come together in a brilliant way for the Celtics, and has put them back in a strong position to get that top seed.
When the Celtics are playing like this, there is no doubt they are contenders in the East.
