Last season, Celtics had won 64 games and finished with the best record in the league. This year, the horsemen and the Thunder made stronger (64 and 67 successes), but Boston will nevertheless have won at least 60 games, after having beat the Hornets.
It is therefore the second time in a row that the franchise has arrived at this bar. And even the 15th of their history in 79 seasons, 19% of the time, which constitutes the NBA record. No other franchise can say the same, the Lakers being blocked at 11 occurrences.
“It's still an incredible season, with 60 victories”, comment Jayson Tatum. “The objective is the title, but we must appreciate the process and cherish these small victories, recognize that we have made a superb regular season. We can be proud of that. »»
Character and pleasure
Last season, the Celtics were hungry for success, they had not yet won the title. There, they had a full belly but we still managed to make a very, very solid season, historic even outside.
“This shows the character of the players, what they are, their sense of competition”, list Joe Mazzulla. “They are the ones who have to fight evening after night. It starts with them, then there is the franchise, the staff, which is one of the best in the league. We are all young, guys like to work and the relationship between players and the staff is very important. The alignment between the owners, the leaders, the people in the daily room is important because it can have the impact of the victories. »»
“We have such pleasure, such a connection between us”, continues Tatum. “There were complicated moments but, in a match of the end, I can say that everyone felt valued, played a role in our success this season and understood the common objective that we share. We know who we are. We have so much fun in what we do. We are aware that we are in a special team, with unique players and we must enjoy these moments. »»
