Boston Celtics showing improvement in crucial area ahead of playoffs
A combination of Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet, with rotations determined by opponents and availability.
Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard are also vital depth pieces.
Now you know that the Celtics’ success depends on more than just their starting lineup.
On more than one occasion this season, the bench has come in and improved the game’s outcome.
Due of their depth and skill, the Celtics are the current champs.
But it would be helpful if the starters maintained their level of performance from last year; that would give Mazzulla’s team an advantage in their pursuit of a repeat.
Despite playing stronger basketball as of late, the Celtics’ path to the playoffs is not without its obstacles.
They’ve blown out the Knicks twice and are now 9–0 in their past 10 games.
On Sunday, their 27-point lead was cut to four points early in the fourth quarter, but they rallied to go within striking distance of the Knicks.
In the fourth quarter, “the guys that started that fourth quarter did an incredible job of getting stops at the right moment, getting out in transition,” Tatum reported.
“JB got some layups. We knocked down some big shots, D-White did.
Jrue was doing his thing. It’s just all about remaining poised.
We didn’t get that lead in one play, and we’re not going to get it back in one play.”
