The Boston Celtics had an outstanding season, dominating the NBA with significant achievements. They were the only team to win 60 games, beat 10 teams by 30 or more points, and became the first team in NBA history to have three 50-point wins in the same season6. They clinched the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 playoff seed with 11 games remaining in the regular season. Their performance was characterized by a top offensive rating and the second-best defensive rating in the league, leading in 3-point shooting both in attempts and efficiency6. The team underwent some changes with the additions of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, enhancing their competitiveness. Despite their regular-season success, the Celtics are focused on winning the championship, as they believe only a championship will complete their season6.
