The Celtics’ dominant victory over the 76ers reflects their relentless determination to steer clear of a significant curse.
Once the preseason concludes, it vanishes entirely. Stats disappear, standings are wiped clean, and rosters shrink from 21 to 15 players.

Winning Banner 18 last season was more than a showcase of the team’s talent. It demonstrated that the mindset Joe Mazzulla instilled in the roster is effective, capable of overcoming 29 other teams.
