A rather light program so far for Boston which will have mostly looked like a long warm-up for the rest. Even if there were still warnings from the Celtics who conceded the second game of each series at home. Before raising the bar in an authoritarian manner each time. Well led by their two usual stars: Jayson Tatum (24.3 pts, 10.4 rbs, 4.7 assists average in the playoffs) and Jaylen Brown (23.1 pts and 6.6 rbs).
“It’s been a great run so far, but we’re not done yet. We’ve got to keep moving forward,” Brown said after qualifying for the Conference Finals against the winner of New York’s duel. and Indiana. For Boston, which finished at the top of the NBA rankings at the end of the regular phase, the objective remains to win back a trophy that it has not lifted since 2008.
Porzingis on the comeback
It remains to be seen when the Celtics will be able to count on Kristaps Porzingis again, their third star element. Injured in the calf since the first match of the playoffs, the Latvian pivot is back in training. An additional weapon for the Celtics who were nevertheless able to count on veteran Al Horford to do the job in his absence.
