Joe Mazzulla’s men achieved a meritorious victory in their visit to the Toronto Raptors
Absent Tatum, the victory had consequences: Robert Williams and Marcus Smart were injured
Mazzulla’s Boston Celtics continues with a firm step at the top of the table in the Eastern Conference. With nine victories in the bag in a row, the green franchise leads by far: 35 wins and just three losses near the equator of the regular phase.
The Boston team, which wants to redeem himself after last season’s NBA ring final loss to the Warriorshe completed an excellent basketball exercise in Toronto without his star, Jayson Tatum: victory that confirms his performance.
In return, the team paid an excessively high toll: Robert Williams, in a fortuitous game with his teammate Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart, who suffered a spectacular sprained ankle, withdrew from the match due to injury and they turn on the alarms in the franchise.
Ring favorites?
Despite Ime Udoka’s suspension, which came as a shock right at the start of the season, the Celtics are showing their great ability to dominate games and lethality both in the outside shot and in the paint. Led by Tatum, the franchise is a favorite.
With permission of the Bucksand a second row of teams like Sixers, Nets o Cavaliers, the Celtics are candidates for the final for the ring. On the other side of the table appear some applicants such as Nuggets y Grizzliesat the top of the table, and others like the eternal Warriorsthe daring Mavs of Doncic or the underdogs Suns of Devin Booker.
