The Boston Celtics clinch a playoff spot after a recent win and two other teams losing. In the same way, this is the third season in a row that the Celtics have made the playoffs.
Boston Celtics Clinch Playoff Spot
Since the Boston Celtics made the playoffs a few weeks back, their recent loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers pushed them back from the number 1 seed. Before the game, they were in sole possession of first place. Moreover, the lack of energy was lost in the matchup with the Cavaliers. Also, the Cavaliers had played back-to-back games recently and they still outplayed the Celtics.
Because the regular season ends on April 12th, there are still a few games remaining. Today’s game and Wednesday’s will be the final two games left for the Celtics regular season.

With this in mind, let’s take a look at the exciting potential matchup for the Celtics. Based on the standings, it looks like the Celtics will play the Bulls in the first round. So, keep in mind something could change in the next few days.
Boston Celtics Players
Although the Celtics have had a tough schedule this season, the team has played well. With Isiah Thomas’s offensive production, he has been consistent all season. With Avery Bradley back to full strength, his offensive and defensive skills are a plus for the team heading into the playoffs.
In addition, while Al Horford was in a funk in February, he has since played much better. There are several other players struggling in recent games and other players stepping up their game. How will they play in the upcoming playoffs?
