It has been a season of extremes for the Boston Celtics. During the early part of the season, they were out of the play-in spots. It looked like rookie head coach Ime Udoka was struggling with the team. The team looked directionless, blowing multiple double-digit leads in the process.

After a players-only meeting following the team blowing another lead, the performances changed since the turn of the year. And now the Boston Celtics sit just two wins away from completing this miracle season.

But the road has not been easy for the Celtics. Their second-half resurgence would give them the second seed in the top-heavy Eastern Conference. They would sweep the Brooklyn Nets in four games, taking revenge for last year’s gentlemen sweep. Then came the real test, a showdown against the reigning NBA Finals MVP and the defending champs, the Milwaukee Bucks.

The series would be a seven-game affair which Boston would ultimately win convincingly. But it was important that the team’s success would not go into the players’ heads and Jayson Tatum made sure of that. Jayson said this about Grant Williams when he took the most shots in Game 7, “I told him don’t get used to that.” But he also added, “Grant won us a playoff game. A Game 7.”

Draymond Green particularly has come under a lot of scrutiny from fans and media alike. He has not been able to impact the series much and has fouled out in two of the games. If the Warriors are to win three of the next four games, they need him to make contributions.

Klay Thompson finally found his touch and scored 25 points. Game 4 is an all-important game now. If Boston wins then the series is as good as over but if the Warriors win they can carry the momentum back to their homecourt.
