Thanks to some favorable results, Boston is now very much in the mix to chase another title, even if it is slightly less prestigious than the one it claimed last June.

The Celtics only have one more NBA Cup game remaining in group play as they look to get to the knockout stages for the second straight year.

Last Saturday, the Celtics barely scraped past one of the worst teams in the NBA, needing overtime to put away the two-win Toronto Raptors. They had similar trouble Friday against another Eastern Conference cellar dweller.
