The Boston Celtics are dominating the 2024 NBA Playoffs, once again reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.
Boston’s bench unit has been solid throughout their post-season run, led by their young point guard, Payton Pritchard.
Pritchard’s hustle and grit impacts the team’s success, contributing to continued excellent play when the Celtics’ stars exit games.
The Boston Celtics have been zipping through the 2024 NBA Playoffs, as they’ve won both their first and second round series in five games. After their swift defeat of superstar guard Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Celtics have punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals for the sixth time in the last eight seasons.
Reaching an NBA-best 64 wins in the 2023-24 regular season, their core duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown and the rest of their vaunted starting rotation have been playing excellent basketball. Surrounded by defensive masterminds Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, their jobs have been made easier on both ends of the floor.
Their new center Kristaps Porzingis, who’s missed the bulk of the playoffs due to injury, has proven to be a worthwhile pick-up, completely changing the dynamic of the team’s offense when he’s on the floor while providing shot-blocking capabilities for one of the league’s best team defenses.
