Exhale.
After a difficult homestand, a California road trip out west, dotting across the country with no more than two games in a row back at the Garden, and a three-game sweep of a road trip to Texas and Miami, the Celtics are finally back in Boston for a lengthy stretch on the parquet.
As of Thursday night, the team is tied for the most home wins (20-1) and road victories (15-9). Do the math and you’ll notice that they’ve played three more games away from TD Garden and that doesn’t even play a part in the calculus that ranks the Celtics with the second or fourth most difficult schedule so far.
