In their last match, Boston secured a decisive 114-97 victory against the Magic at home, with Jaylen Brown impressively contributing 35 points on 12-for-20 shooting. The noteworthy aspect of their win was the commanding manner in which they controlled the game, never relinquishing their lead. The Celtics' scoring average of 117.6 points per game is just slightly higher than the Warriors' defensive yield of 115.7 points. Notably, Boston stands out for taking the highest percentage of three-point shots among all teams, with a rate of 47.7%.
