"Best team in the league not even close"- Celtics fans are hyped after they take Game 4 and take a 3-1 lead
The Boston Celtics are closing in on the semifinals as they take a 3-1 lead over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night. Thanks to Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum's brilliant performances, Boston beat Atlanta 129-121. Brown and Tatum have dropped 31 points each and are proving to be worthy opponents for the Philadelphia 76ers.
While the Sixers are the only team in the playoffs to win their series via a sweep, we have to consider that they were up against a superstar-less Brooklyn Nets. With that in mind, fans still believe that the Celtics are still the best team in the league right now.
