They shot an effective field goal percentage of 58 percent and were particularly lethal from beyond the arc, hitting 44 percent of their three-point attempts. Their free throw accuracy was also noteworthy at an impressive 85 percent. This offensive prowess was complemented by a solid defensive effort marked by six blocks and limiting turnovers to just sixteen.

Boston's bench contributed significantly with 24 points, showcasing depth that could be pivotal against San Antonio. Moreover, they dominated in points in paint with a total of 52 points which could spell trouble for the Spurs' defense if they fail to clog up those lanes.

On December 29th against Detroit Pistons, another overtime thriller saw them victorious with a scoreline of 128-122. The Celtics showed great character coming back from behind and eventually taking control in overtime. Their ability to outlast opponents has become a hallmark this season; it's not just about talent but also about mental toughness.

However, it would be remiss not to acknowledge the challenge posed by San Antonio Spurs who will have home-court advantage this time around. The Spurs are known for their disciplined playstyle under coach Gregg Popovich’s system which often makes them tough opponents regardless of their record or roster changes.

Looking ahead to New Year’s Eve clash scheduled for a tip-off at 7:00 PM Eastern Time in San Antonio – fans should expect another intense battle where Boston aims to assert its dominance early on both ends of the floor while keeping turnovers low as they did effectively against Toronto Raptors.

Celtics supporters can catch all action live on NBCS-BOS channel number 630 or follow along through various broadcast networks available depending upon location; BSSW being one such network airing game locally on channel number 676 for those based near Texas area specifically within zip code region starting with '78219'.
