Analyzing their past performances, it's clear that the Celtics have been excelling in various aspects of the game. In their recent match against the Hornets, they secured a convincing victory with 118 points and demonstrated exceptional shooting accuracy from both inside and outside the paint. Their two-point field goal percentage was an impressive 67 percent, while they also managed to convert 36 percent of their three-point attempts.


The team's defensive prowess was equally notable as they maintained a defensive rating just above one point per possession. Moreover, they've shown depth in scoring with significant contributions from the bench and maintained control throughout most of their games by leading for extended periods.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing as evidenced by their nail-biting overtime win against Atlanta Hawks where both teams were neck-and-neck throughout. Despite this challenge, Boston showcased resilience and an ability to perform under pressure which will be crucial when facing off against New York.
