Playing in Orlando has been sort of a mixed bag for the Celtics under Brad Stevens, but they came away with a victory in a matchup of two teams near the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The win extended Boston’s win streak to eight games and put them atop the NBA with an 8-2 record, following their 0-2 start to the season.
The eight straight wins broke a tie with the 2016-17 team for most consecutive wins under Brad Stevens. The eight victories in a row are the most the Celtics have had since the 2010-11 team won 14 consecutive games over a month long stretch from late November to late December.
