Yes, when adjusted for pace. No, if not.

The Celtics rank 5th in opponent points allowed per game (93.2) and 3rd in the more important points allowed per 100 possessions (101.1).

Yes, when adjusted for pace. No, if not.

Unless I'm looking at the wrong stats, I think they're 3rd when adjusting for pace (i.e., per 100 possessions).  Orlando and Milwaukee are both slightly better.

  The numbers are almost the same. Some sites would have, instead of 100.5, 100.8 and 101.1 (from basketballreference) all three teams at 101 with the Celtics likely winning the tie-breaker (alphabetical order).
