In the midst of a six-game win streak, the Boston Celtics are finally playing their brand of basketball. Tough and hard-nosed, the Celtics have won games by coming from behind, making huge plays in the clutch, and overtaking several playoff-bound foes. It’s hard not to get excited about the postseason on the horizon with the team playing as well as they are of late.
Guys like Tristan Thompson have continually alluded to the team’s focus on bigger things: that rest, health and hitting their stride late are more important than winning regular season games or seeding.
