On February 25, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued after the All-Star holiday, and in today's game, the Boston Celtics defeated the Brooklyn Nets 129-106.
The Celtics played wonderful team basketball in this game, and a total of 7 players on the team scored in double figures. Among them, the star Jason Tatum is the most eye-catching. He played 34 minutes, shooting 10-of-20, including 4-of-9 from three-point range, and set down a full statistic of 30 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.
The recent Celtics seem to have found a way for the team to win, and in this five-game winning streak, they have collectively scored 148 points against their opponents, averaging 29.6 points per game. At the same time, according to relevant statistics, the Celtics have ranked first in the league in defensive efficiency since December last year, ranked first in the league in net wins per game since entering 2022, and are the only team in the East that wins more than 50% of the team wins than loses.
After winning the game, the Celtics' record has reached 35-26, and the ranking has risen to sixth place in the East. From being questioned at the beginning of the season to now getting better and better, this young team seems to be on the right track.
While the Celtics' offense wasn't outstanding, averaging just 109.2 points per game, the sixteenth in the league. But they're good enough defensively and protective of the interior, averaging second in the league for rebounds per game and second in blocks per game. Defensive efficiency is also the second highest in the league with only 104.8, second only to the Golden State Warriors in the West. Such a green army may really be able to stir up trouble in the East in the playoffs.
