The Celtics have looked like a brand new team over the past month. Since losing close back-to-back home games to the Hornets and Blazers in mid-January, Ime Udoka’s squad has rolled off 12 wins in 14 games, including a nine-game winning streak.
While a lot of things have turned around for the C’s in that time, a big difference is how the team has played on the road. In their previous eight road games before that stretch, the Celtics were 1-7 losing by an average of 5.5 points per game. Since beating the Wizards in Washington on Jan. 23, they’re 7-1 away from Boston including six consecutive road wins. However, the dominance goes deeper than that.
As shared by
The Celtics haven't trailed on the road for the entire month of February. Their last such deficit was when they trailed 2-0 at the 11:12 mark of the 1Q on 1/29 in New Orleans.
That's 287+ consecutive minutes without trailing – nearly 6 straight wire-to-wire wins.
