BOSTON, MA – The Boston Celtics have a 5-5 record over their last ten games, suffering losses to teams like the Spurs and Bulls, largely due to poor shooting and defensive struggles. Coach Joe Mazzulla acknowledged their recent performance as “bad days at the office,” while players like Nickeil Alexander-Walker highlighted the need for better ball defense. Despite remaining near the top in offensive efficiency, questions loom about their playoff readiness as they approach the trade deadline and Jayson Tatum’s return. The Celtics must address their vulnerabilities before aiming for a championship run.
