1. As Brad Stevens put it, the game “got interesting” at the end. But the Celtics completed a dream 3-0 west coast trip and come home to Boston on a five-game winning streak. They’ve now moved up to 5th place in the Eastern Conference (tied with Atlanta for 4th, but the Hawks own the tiebreaker). The Celtics have seven of their next nine games at home.
We’ve been here before this season, with feeling like they’ve turned the corner, but this time it feels a little more real. This run has included some quality wins and the team seems to have figured some things out.
