The Celtics have been on an impressive run, showcasing their dominance on both ends of the floor. With a recent victory over the Lakers themselves, scoring 126 points and leading for over 45 minutes of game time, confidence is high within the squad.

The team's offensive prowess has been particularly noteworthy; they've consistently scored above 140 points in their last three games. Their shooting efficiency has been remarkable with field goal percentages hovering around 55 percent and three-point shooting at an impressive rate above 50 percent in their latest outing against Sacramento Kings.
