The Celtics and the rest of the NBA are just 3 weeks away from the All-Star Break. The Celtics just got back from a 5 game Western Conference Road Trip that saw them finish 2-3. Outside of a 122-108 loss to the League Leading Utah Jazz the Celtics with a few possession going 1 way or the other could have ended up with a 0-5 road trip or a 4-1 road trip. The Celtics came home to faceoff with their division rivals the Toronto Raptors for the 2nd time this season. This matchip showed the bad blood that was shown between the 2 teams in last years NBA Playoffs hasnt stopped boiling as we saw several hits to the head, players being laid out, constant complaining to the refs looking for foul calls, However there was one thing that also remained the same from last years playoff matchup. The Celtics walked away victorious with a 120-106 victory in which the Celtics saw a change to the starting lineup as Brad Stevens removed Grant Williams and inserted Semi Ojeleye and it resuled in Semi scoring 24 points for the Celtics. Payton Pritchard was the 2nd highest scorer for the Celtics coming off the bench and the Celtics had 30 assists on the night with Celtics stars Tatum and Brown combining for 19 of the 30. The Celtics still remain without Marcus Smart and despite the bad West Coach Trip still sit in a tight race with the Brooklyn Nets and the Indiana Pacers for the 3rd, 4th and 5th seeds. Reports have come out that other NBA Team officials believe the Celtics will make some sort of move before the NBA Trade Deadline which is just about a month and a half away.
