Games officially mean nothing. Now that the Boston Celtics have clinched the best record in the league, they quite literally have nothing tangible to play for. Their win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night may genuinely be the last snippet of real Celtics basketball until the playoffs.
Joe Mazzulla won’t let them get completely unhinged, and everyone on the team loves to play, so resting is unlikely, but things could get weird.
Regardless, let’s look at a few fun things from Celtics-Thunder, and hope that there’s more fun in store over the final six regular season games.
