On Sunday, the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors faced off for the fourth time since their 2022 NBA Finals series. Coming into the game, the Warriors held a 2-1 lead over Joe Mazzulla’s team.
However, this isn’t the same Celtics team that lost that playoff series. They’re older. They’re more focused. Simply put, they’re better and not just because of the recent additions to the roster. Yes, Jrue Holiday makes this team better. And yes, if he were on the floor, Kristaps Porzingis would have melted the Warriors' minds on the defensive end.
