While the defense has been carrying the team, of late the offense has been stepping up too, and as of today is now 10th in offensive rating. Entering the Phoenix game on New Year’s Eve, which is often seen as the turnaround game, the Celtics were 22nd in offensive rating. Since that point they’re 5th, and thus top 10 for the entire season. (Notably, tonight’s opponent is 2nd in offense over that same period, so get ready for a barnburner).
