Celtics' Challenge


On the other side, the Boston Celtics come into this match with determination but will face an uphill battle against OKC's dynamic gameplay. While they have shown moments of brilliance throughout the season, matching up against Thunder's robust defense and fast-paced offense will require them to elevate every aspect of their game.


To stand a chance against OKC, Boston will need to tighten up defensively and find ways to disrupt Thunder's rhythm without conceding easy points from fouls or turnovers. The key for them lies in controlling possession and forcing OKC into uncomfortable shooting positions while being clinical on counter-attacks.
