As I watched the fourth quarter of the Celtics’ 107-98 Game 4 victory over the Magic on Sunday, I couldn’t help but take a step back to marvel at how far this team has come.
This was exactly the type of game they used to lose. When shots didn’t fall, the opposition made it tough and the stakes magnified, it was a crapshoot which version of the Celtics would show up. Sometimes, they’d rise to the occasion, and other times, they'd crumble in the clutch.
Now, they may not win every game (see: Game 3), but you have full faith when you watch them play a tight game.
