Boston has won seven of nine overall matchups between the teams, including four of six in May to claim the Eastern Conference championship. The Celtics have won eight of their last nine games this season and boast the most victories in the league. The Celtics are holding opponents to 39.9 percent shooting and 90.7 points per game, ranking first and second in the league in those respective categories.
