Recent Performance Trends


Analyzing the past games, the Celtics have shown a strong offensive and defensive game. In their recent victory over the Nuggets, they scored 110 points with a true shooting percentage of 61 percent and dominated with a fast break points tally of 14. This performance was bolstered by their effective field goal percentage standing at 56 percent, showcasing their ability to efficiently convert opportunities into points.


However, in their matchup against the Cavaliers, despite putting up a valiant effort with 116 points and maintaining an effective field goal percentage of 58 percent, they fell short. This game highlighted areas for improvement as they allowed 123 points against them. Yet, it's worth noting that their three-point shooting remained consistent across games at approximately 44 percent.

A concerning aspect from these performances is turnovers; in both games combined, they turned over the ball a total of 25 times. Reducing turnovers will be crucial against the Sixers to maintain control of the game pace.
