Boston Celtics
Longest current NBA winning streak: Boston Celtics, 7 straight wins.
By the way, the Warriors are trying for their FIFTH STRAIGHT NBA Finals. The last team to do that? The Boston Celtics. They went to 10 straight NBA Finals (1957-1966; won 9 out of 10 titles in that span). (@RealBillRussell)
RT @ByJayKing: Some Celtics have noticed a change in Kyrie Irving. All his defensive indicators are up. Al Horford said the star’s more engaged now with teammates.
“(He’s) probably a little more happier than he was in the past,” said Marcus Smart.

Bradley Beal had a season-high six turnovers on Wednesday night. Marcus Smart was directly involved in forcing all six of those miscues. An inside look at how he's strengthening his case for All-Defensive honors with starter minutes: https://t.co/qRsDlE62gV
And after knocking down two impossible shots, in overtime, on the road to win it for the Celtics tonight, I'm just going to throw these Kyrie-diculous numbers out there again.
Celtics on the road without Kyrie: 7-14
Celtics on the road with Kyrie: 31-14
Are we just a third of the way in?
Yep.
Is Toronto the team right now? And not just in the East.
Yep.
But things to remember looking at the C's body of work....
They've played 5 more games on the road (16/11), and more than half of their Western Conference road games (8/15).
Finally.....

RT @The_eichenBOMB: @JonesOnTheNBA Exactly—as a Celtics fan I anticipated the Horford-Ibaka matchup being the biggest advantage against the Raptors. Long season but Serge has been really good so far. He was probably the difference in the first Toronto-Boston game
Before the season started, I thought the Raptors biggest issue at playoff time would be their center situation (especially against the Celtics). But if Ibaka plays like this at playoff time, it’s a game changer. Let’s see if he can pull it off.
@JonesOnTheNBA I thought he was washed by the end of last year but he’s looked great. So much more spry and active than he was last season. He really gives them another dimension right now with his versatility at the 5
Y’all sleep on @ReseRice4 he shouldn’t be there ??♂️??♂️??♂️??♂️

Kyrie Irving performed the role of closer with 12 points in overtime to drive the Boston Celtics by the Washington Wizards 130-125. The win was Boston's seventh straight. https://t.co/Mbs8NcNF1l
Amid all the early-season angst, the Celtics are just one game out of the No. 2 spot in the East.
New: “Down the stretch, it’s winning time.” And sometimes that means calmly hitting a 31-foot 3-pointer with the game on the line, as Kyrie Irving did. Full report from DC: https://t.co/wgDjJDONAC
Kyrie Irving leads Boston Celtics to overtime victory over Washington Wizards because he's great in clutch https://t.co/kisvpMHAx6
