Winners of five straight, the Celtics have taken over the second spot in the East. Where did they land in this week's NBA power rankings?
In the last couple of weeks, the top of the Eastern Conference standings has gotten a lot tighter. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors have taken a step back, each going 5-7 in their last 12 games, making this the perfect time for the Boston Celtics to make their move.
Since the start of the new year, the C's are 11-4 and look to be a real threat to the status quo in the East.
