The NBA regular season is coming to an end, and the East is in a big fight, with no team determining the ranking. In the past period, the East has rushed out of a championship team, and the Boston Celtics, led by the double stars Tatum and Brown, have become the upstarts in the East, reaching the top of the East for the first time.
This time the Celtics faced the West Dark Horse Timberwolves at home, did not give the opponent any chance, in the second quarter to open up the point difference, half-time lead 22 points, the third quarter finished the lead of 25 points. The Celtics didn't give the Timberwolves any chances, didn't go behind once, and ended up winning a 22-point win with six straight wins.
During this six-game winning streak, the Celtics have each led their opponents by more than 20 points, and five of them have won games with a point difference of 20 points or more.
The rise of the Celtics during this time is still quite crazy, originally their record was not ideal, and there were some discordant voices inside. But they quickly made adjustments, and the continuous victories also made the interior more harmonious, and Brown wrote on social media on February 1: "The energy is about to start shifting!" After that, the Celtics went into rampage mode, with a record of 21 wins and 3 losses, and the team also rushed all the way up from the East, and after defeating the Timberwolves, directly to the top of the throne in the East.
During this period, the Celtics' double stars Tatum and Brown have played well, finding a better positioning between the two and maximizing their power. This time against the Timberwolves, both of them shot down 30+ and combined to shoot down 65 points, with Tatum having 34 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and Brown having 31 points and 10 rebounds. In addition, Tatum and Brown have scored at least 25 points in six consecutive games together, the third pair in NBA history to achieve this statistic, the first two pairs are Jerry West and Baylor and OK (O'Neal and Kobe Bryant).
In addition, the Celtics have improved their rankings in a row over the past 74 days, eventually coming to the top spot in the East. Back on Jan. 15 of this year, the Celtics finished 21-22, just 11th in the East; but after that, the Celtics exploded, during which they made a change, trading Schroder to the Rockets and getting the old player Theis. Anyway, the team has become more outstanding now, after ten consecutive promotions, it has reached the throne of No. 1, and no team dares to despise them now.
