Boston Celtics throughout the season overcame many struggles. They started slow and then all of a sudden they reached second in the East. In the first round match, Brooklyn Nets was odds favorite. Next, they faced the defending champions Milwaukee Bucks in a difficult 7 game series. And in the Eastern finals they matched up with the number 1 team Miami Heat in another give and take 7 game series.

At present, they are again in a difficult series against an experienced Warriors team.
