The Boston Celtics were the biggest winners of the NBA offseason.
When most people talked about Damian Lillard going to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Celtics’ additions of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis were perhaps the most impactful moves of the summer.
Fast forward to today, and it’s safe to say that they paid off.
As shared by Get Up on Twitter, the Celtics have now set a new mark for the most 25-point wins in a single NBA season.

With their big win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, they now have 19 wins of 25+ this year, passing the 2015-16 San Antonio Spurs and 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks, who had 18 each.
That’s even more impressive if you consider the fact that they’ve played 88 games to date, so there’s still a chance they keep adding to that tally in the next couple of weeks.
The Celtics have won three of their past four games by at least 20 points, and they’ve won all of those games by a minimum of 14 points.
They had the best record in the NBA by a significant stretch, even securing a winning record before the All-Star break.
However, just like the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors found out the hard way, it won’t mean a thing without the ring.
The Celtics have been stellar in the playoffs thus far, and they should find little trouble getting past the Cavaliers, but we’ve seen them underperform in the postseason multiple times in the past, so they still need to prove themselves.
