The team's recent performances have been nothing short of spectacular. In their last three outings, the Celtics have scored 126, 145, and 144 points respectively, demonstrating their scoring prowess. Their efficiency from both inside and beyond the arc has been a key factor in these victories. With field goal percentages hovering around 50 percent or higher in each game and three-point shooting accuracy peaking at an incredible 52 percent against Sacramento Kings, it's clear that the Celtics' shooters are finding their rhythm.


Defensively, Boston has also made its presence felt by averaging over seven blocks per game across these matches. This defensive solidity complements their offensive firepower well and will be crucial when facing a competitive Clippers squad.


The team's ability to control the game is evident through statistics like time leading which was notably high at over 45 minutes in two of the last three games. Additionally, they've shown they can capitalize on turnovers by consistently scoring points off them while maintaining a high assists-to-turnover ratio – an indicator of smart ball-handling and teamwork.


With such strong performances behind them, it’s no surprise that Boston sits comfortably with more than triple wins compared to losses this season. The upcoming match at TD Garden promises to be another showcase of their talent as they aim to extend this winning trend.


Fans can catch all the action from this exciting matchup on January 28th at TD Garden or tune into NBCS-BOS for live coverage if they're cheering from home.
