The 2023-24 Boston Celtics are well on their way to establishing themselves as one of the most dominant teams in Boston sports history.
After posting 64 wins during the regular season, the Celtics carved a swath through the rest of the Eastern Conference during playoff action — sporting a 12-2 record against the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Indiana Pacers.
After sweeping the Pacers on Monday, Boston became the first NBA team since the 2017 Warriors and 2017 Cavaliers to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals with two losses or fewer.
Of course, Boston still needs to seal the deal and best either the Mavericks or Timberwolves in the upcoming NBA Finals to stake their claim as one of the best teams in this city’s storied sporting history.
