The Celtics are back in the NBA Finals, punching their ticket to the sport’s biggest stage for the second time in three years after sweeping the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals.

Boston’s path to this year’s Finals was much different, though, than when the group made it there in 2022. The C’s held the best record in the NBA during the regular season, winning 64 games and posting one of the best point differentials in league history.

The Celtics carried their regular-season dominance into the postseason. They went 12-2 through the Eastern Conference bracket, avoiding a Game 7 after playing in four over the last two years.
