Boston Celtics torch New Orleans Pelicans with historic three-point shooting, notching 29 threes and locking up the East’s second seed. Will Nikola Vucevic's renewed confidence and Neemias Queta's milestone season translate to playoff success? John Karalis of Celtics On SI breaks down the Celtics’ emphatic 144-118 win, spotlighting Payton Pritchard’s 29-point, 10-assist showcase and Sam Hauser’s hot hand. Key storylines include Luka Garza’s readiness off the bench, Jaylen Brown’s efficient night (despite seven turnovers), and the looming playoff matchup likely against either the Philadelphia 76ers or Orlando Magic. The show highlights Neemi’s rare statistical feat—joining Robert Parish and Dave Cowens in Celtics' history—while assessing Joe Mazzulla’s approach to player rotation before the postseason. Can Boston’s record-setting perimeter attack carry them through the playoffs? Don’t miss Locked On Celtics’ essential analysis of the road ahead.
