THE CELTICS DOMINATE THE NETS IN BROOKLYN








BOSTON IS 54-20 AND IN 1ST PLACE IN THE EAST

AROUND THE LEAGUE



- The Mavs are currently 1.5 games out of the final playoff spot in the West. Unfortunately, Luka Doncic will be out for the next 4-6 weeks with a Torn Hamstring and their playoff hopes are looking pretty grim.



- The MVP race is heating up and Giannis is the only player from the East that's in the Top 5. The other four players are from two teams in the West. Who will take home the award this year?



- The Boston Celtics have a seven-game lead with 8 games left. They could have things locked up with another win or two and that could mean some much-needed rest of their starters down the stretch.

AROUND THE LEAGUE



- Philly got hot down the stretch, winning their last 7 games, and finished one game better than the Bucks for 2nd place in the East.



- The Mavs had a great late-season run without their best player, but in the end missing out on the postseason due to tiebreakers



- The Grizzlies end the season with the worst record in the league, partly due to their horrible record on the road.
