The Boston Celtics have established the greatest culture of winning in the NBA and the main reason why is defense. Each and every championship won by the Celtics was won because of defense. Defense has always lead to their success and it all began with the greatest dynasty of all time with Bill Russell protecting the paint like no other.
Amongst some of the greatest defenders of all time, the Celtics have also collected some of the greatest scorers the game has ever seen. Defense is always at the forefront but the Celtics have won their fair share of games because of remarkable offensive performances.
