Four Starters Score 20 in W

12/24/2007

Through 25 games, no team in the NBA has been better than the Celtics, and not many teams in league history have been either.

The Celtics improved to an NBA-best 22-3 last night with a 103-91 victory over the Magic at TD Banknorth Garden. The NBA record for this point of the season is 23-2, achieved by Philadelphia (1966), New York (1969), and Chicago (1995). The Celtics also tied San Antonio for the best home record this season (14-1).

"I didn't have any expectations, honestly," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "I know that's hard to believe, but I really didn't. I had an expectation that we were going to be a good team. But, as far as wins and losses, I didn't have a number by Christmas.
