Boston, on the other hand, continues to look like the hottest team in the league, winning nine of its last 10 games. Over that stretch, the Celtics are averaging 118.7 points, 48.9 rebounds, 29.0 assists, 5.8 steals, and 4.8 blocks while holding opponents to just 103.9 points per contest and shooting 47.5 percent from the field.

If the Celtics do come to play, this might be the last high-level Boston basketball we see until the postseason.
