The Boston Celtics keep on rolling.
They’ve won four consecutive games by a big margin, and they clearly don’t want to go through the same they went through in Game 2 vs. the Miami Heat.
Joe Mazzulla’s team has been extremely focused and hasn’t taken it’s foot off the gas for the full 48 minutes since that loss.
Even without Kristaps Porzingis, who’s been out with a calf injury, the Celtics stars have been more than up to the task to get the job done.
Notably, Jaylen Brown looked like a man on a mission right out of the gate in Game 1 vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Brown finished the night with 32 points, six rebounds, two assists, one block, and four three-pointers on 12-for-18 from the field and 4-for-6 from beyond the arc.
Following the game, fellow star Jayson Tatum tipped his hat to him, stating that it wasn’t much of a surprise to see him ball out because of all the hard work he puts night in and night out (via Celtics on NBC Sports).

The Celtics are the odds-on favorites to win the NBA championship this season, and for very good reasons.
They’ve proven just how dominant they can be during the playoffs, and while the Cleveland Cavaliers have matched up well against them over the past couple of years, they might not have enough left in the tank to beat them after a seven-game series vs. the Orlando Magic.
Also, with Brown playing this way and Jarrett Allen still on the shelf with an injury, this might not be close at all.
