Recent Performance Trends


The Celtics have shown impressive form in their recent games, demonstrating both offensive prowess and defensive solidity. In their last game against Orlando Magic at TD Garden, they secured a commanding victory with a score of 121-94. This win highlighted their ability to dominate on both ends of the court, as they led for over 45 minutes of the game and boasted a significant lead of up to 27 points. Their shooting accuracy was notable, with a true shooting percentage rounding up to an impressive 68 percent.


However, it's not just their scoring that has been turning heads; their defensive efforts have also been commendable. Against the New Orleans Pelicans, despite a closely contested match that ended in a narrow victory (120-119), Boston showcased its ability to clutch crucial moments defensively. They managed seven blocks and five steals while maintaining an offensive rhythm that saw them leading for over 20 minutes.

Looking Ahead: Celtics vs. Warriors
