Luka Garza came off the bench to post a season-high 22 points, while Payton Pritchard added 19 points to steady the offense. Memphis led 103-102 with 5:33 remaining, but Boston responded with a decisive 10-point run to put the Grizzlies away and claim their fourth consecutive victory.

At 47-23 and 2nd in the East, the Celtics are a force to be reckoned with heading into the final stretch of the regular season. Jaylen Brown leads the charge with 28.5 PPG and is the engine of Boston's high-powered offense, while Derrick White orchestrates the attack with 5.6 APG and 1.2 steals per game. 

Neemias Queta anchors the paint with 8.3 rebounds per game, and the team's net rating of +7.4 reflects their dominance on both ends of the floor. Backed by a raucous home crowd at TD Garden, the Celtics are a formidable proposition for any opponent walking through their door.

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves fell short in their last outing against the Portland Trail Blazers, losing 104-108, a tough defeat that underscored the absence of their All-Star guard Anthony Edwards, who remains sidelined with right knee inflammation. 

Rudy Gobert led the short-handed Timberwolves with 18 points and 15 rebounds, while Julius Randle added 19 points and Ayo Dosunmu contributed 17 points and a career-high 10 rebounds off the bench in a starting role.
