Nine times? Nine times: 10 Takeaways from Celtics-Pelicans

The Celtics are now 13-3 and lead the Milwaukee Bucks by 1.5 games in the Eastern Conference. It’s still too early to be on “standings watch”, but the wins all count the same. That Boston has been able to stack this many victories together while being without key contributors is huge. It’s a guarantee that will matter when we get to March and April and start watching the standings daily.
