Celtics One Win Away from Top Seed

0:00On April 8th, the Boston Celtics are just one win away from locking up the number two seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They've crushed expectations this season, especially playing most of it without their star Jason Tatum sidelined by injury. That top spot means their first round foe comes from the play in chaos, where the number seven and eight seeds battle it out for the right to face. Boston, it's a total wild card until that tournament wraps up after the regular season. Celtics fans are buzzing because the usual suspects floating in those spots are the Charlotte Hornets, Philadelphia 76ers or Toronto. Raptors, each brings different vibes. Charlotte's been on fire lately, Phillies got that rivalry he'd and Toronto's solid but mismatched. Digging deeper, the Hornets boast the league's second best record since late January, though Boston's won the last two meetings. The sixers sit around 500, with the season series even until the Celts dominated in March. Raptors lead the pack now, but dropped all four games to Boston this year.

1:00No matter who steps up, the Celtics look primed to roll deep into the postseason, sitting pretty at the top of the east. That's the story for today. Boston Celtics news today, driven by AI. I'm Coring with the story.
