Celtics Cruise to 60th Win, Secure Home-Court Advantage with Dominant Victory Over Thunder

The Boston Celtics continued their dominating run in the NBA, clinching the best record in the league and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs with a resounding 135-100 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Led by Kristaps Porzingis' impressive performance of 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 blocks, the Celtics secured their 14th 60-win season in franchise history, cementing their powerhouse status in the league. With Jayson Tatum also contributing 24 points and Jaylen Brown adding 23 points and seven rebounds, Boston showcased their depth and strength as they eye success in the postseason.

Despite facing challenges like injuries, including Brown's sprained left hand, the Celtics remained focused and determined on their path to success. Coach Joe Mazzulla emphasized the importance of not dwelling on their achievements and staying humble as they approach the playoffs. While the Thunder put up a fight led by Josh Giddey and Luguentz Dort, the absence of All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander proved costly for Oklahoma City as they fell short against the relentless Celtics. Boston's unwavering determination and teamwork set them apart as they aim to make a deep playoff run and potentially secure an NBA championship.
